Homework for week of 11/16

Career project updates and deadlines:
You should have your note cards completed for your research paper (between 12-15). I am going to sign off on your checklist on Monday.
In class, you should finish a rough draft of your Goals and Dreams section (see above post for questions). In addition, you should have 10-15 interview questions completed by block day.
It will be necessary to do some of this work at home in order to meet deadlines. Please do so.

Independent reading: You should have 200 pages of your novel completed by Friday.

Homework for week of 11/9

This week, we do not have school on Veteran's Day: 11/11, so our schedule is slightly modified. I have handed you a deadline checklist so you know what is due for the career project (under helpful documents if you need it again). I also have a job shadow permission form if you are interested in shadowing a person in your career for a day. Remember you will receive 10 extra points on your paper if you complete this component, but it is not required.

Thanks to Mr. Tanguay (and students who reminded me!) for the Bridges website. It is listed under helpful documents and is a great resource for this project. 

Lastly, keep reading! Your independent book is due next Friday, 11/20.

Here are the specific deadlines for this week:
Monday, 11/9: Three sources printed out with source cards
Block day, 11/12 (period 2) or 11/13 (period 1 and 5):15-20 note cards from three sources

homework for week of 11/2

Independent reading books: You should read in your independent reading books each night (15 pages daily). This means you should be at page 60 by Friday.

Career project: We are starting our career project this week. You have downloaded the overview (under helpful documents). By Friday, you have to have a topic. By Monday, you have to have three sources which you have printed out or photocopied. We'll be in the library on block day and Friday in order to make this happen. 

Job shadow for career project: If you would like to set up a job shadow during Thanksgiving break, I'll have paperwork for that on Friday. An interview is mandatory for this project and if you job shadow, you will receive ten extra points on your final paper! See me if you have questions!
