WEEBLY WEBSITE / GOOGLE CALENDAR
The class syllabus is located in the English III AP link here on my Weebly page. You will notice it is intended to be general in nature. Specific daily assignments can also be found on the embedded Google calendar for you son or daughter's class (click the "Today in Class" link on the calendar itself for a pop-up box with instructions on completing each day's activity and assignment). Due dates for homework assignments, readings, and assessments are also provided on the Weebly calendar. This feature will allow your daughter or son to obtain and complete missed assignments remotely and keep up with the class when away for UIL activities or illness.
GOOGLE CLASSROOM
Any time I give students notes, handouts, or a PDF to read, I will upload a copy into the appropriate shared unit folder in Google Classroom. I will be using Google Docs, Google Drive and Google Classroom on a regular basis this year.
TURNITIN.COM
Students will also be given a code to submit written assignments into Turnitin.com. This software helps encourage student originality and discourage plagiarism. Additionally, teachers have the capability of attaching a grading rubric to a written assessment here, which will inform students of areas requiring editing and/or revision for subsequent drafts.
SKYWARD
I will strive to enter minor grades (usually 1 or maybe 2 per week) and major assessments / process assignments (2-3 per 9 weeks) as quickly as time allows. I ask that you be patient with me regarding the latter, since it does take some time to read and score 140 student essays.
Please feel free to contact me by email ([email protected]) or phone (x33074) with questions or concerns. I'm looking forward to working in partnership with you this school year.
