Happy Friday, Everyone!!!
 
I hope you are all progressing with your current assignment.  The submission folder is on turnitin.com and will be open until Sunday night.  Please let me know if you are having any problems completing the assignment.
 
Aside from that, you are all set to have a great weekend!  We will get after some new reading next week.
 
Stay safe.

Good Morning.
 
I hope you are all happy and healthy!!!
 
I have not received any emails regarding your current assignment, so I hope it is going well.  If you get stuck, feel free to email me.  I have it posted as due Friday, but I will leave the turnitin.com folder (it is titled American Dream Synthesis) open until Sunday just in case you need more time.
 
The only other business item today is the National English Honor Society.  If you are interested in applying, you may fill out the form I will post under assignments.  It is not an assignment, but I don't think I can attach the application to this post.
 
Have a great day.
 
Mr. Hall

Good Morning!!!
 
I hope you all have been getting some sleep.
 
You are still working on your writing assignment today.  Remember that you have already responded to parts of this prompt three different times. Your challenge now is to put everything together in a way that is clear and focused.  Think about the things your responses have in common.  Please feel free to email me if you are having trouble. 
 
Have a great day!!!

Good Morning,
 
I hope you are all doing well, today.
 
Your mission for today is to work on the assignment I posted yesterday.  You may organize your response any way you think is best.  Just remember to reference both sources while including your own ideas as well.  This assignment is due to turnitin.com by Friday.
 
As always, email me if you have any questions.  Have a great day.

Good Morning!!!
 
I hope you all had a nice weekend and are doing well.
 
I have posted a new assignment with a due date of this Friday (4/24).  It is meant to be a bit of a challenge, which is why I have given you all week to complete it.  Please look over the assignment today and email me if you have any questions.  Then, start to think about how you can combine all three sources into a single response.  You may organize your response any way you feel would best communicate your ideas.
 
Have a great day.

Happy Friday, Everyone!!!
 
Today you should be working on the assignment I posted yesterday which is your response to the prompt asking your thoughts about The American Dream.  Please post it to turnitin.com by Sunday night.  Even better, post it by tonight, so you don't have to worry about it over the weekend.  As always, email me if you have any questions.
 
Have a great weekend.  Stay safe.

Good morning.
 
Today, I have posted a new assignment.  Please put some thought into your response, and submit it to turnitin.com by midnight on Sunday.  You have listened to and read a couple of ideas about The American Dream.  Now I want to know what YOU think about it.  I look forward to reading your ideas.
 
Have a great day.  I hope you all are well.

Today, you are just working on the assignment I posted yesterday.  I hope you were all able to access the article from the link I provided.  If you have any problems, let me know. The questions are due to turnitin.com tomorrow.

Monday 4/13 Message

Good Morning,
 
I hope you all had a great weekend.
 
I have posted a new assignment for this week (due Wednesday), so please make sure you check the assignments page.  I would like you to read an article and answer a few questions about it.  Like the TED talk you watched last week, this article reveals one person's opinion of The American Dream.  Parts of the article might be difficult to understand, but take your time.  I am confident that you will be able to connect to it.  If you have questions, feel free to email me any time.  I am excited to see your thoughts.
 
Have a great day.
 
Mr. Hall

Friday 4/10 Message

Good Morning,
 
Thank you to all of you for getting signed up on turnitin.  For the rest of the year, plan to use turnitin to submit your work.  This means you will have to type everything, so let me know if you have a problem with that.
 
I do not have a new assignment for you today.  Enjoy the weekend.  Have fun with your family.  Stay safe.  We will get back after things on Monday.
 
Mr. Hall

Thursday 4/9 Message

Good Morning.
 
On this beautiful, rainy Thursday, your mission is to submit your TED talk response to turnitin.com.  If you are having any issues finding the talk, finding the assignment sheet, or finding our class on turnitin.com, email me so we can work it out.  Have a great day.

I hope you are all feeling good today.
 
The TED talk assignment I posted yesterday is due by midnight tomorrow night.  I hope you find the talk interesting.  I am excited to see your responses to it.  Please type your work and submit it on turitin.com if you can.  As always, email me if you have any questions.

Tuesday 4/7 Message

Good Morning,
 
I hope that you all are doing well.  If you have not yet sent your journal responses to me either via email or on turnitin.com, please make that your first priority today.  If you have any questions or are having any problems, please email me or Mrs. Helmrich.  We can help you out.
 
Today, I have for you a link to a TED Talk I want you to watch.  Please watch the talk and answer the questions I have posted on the assignments page.  You might want to read the questions before you watch the talk, so you know what to think about while you watch.  This assignment will be due on Thursday.  You should have plenty of time to complete it.  As always, email me with any questions.
 
Stay safe.
 
Mr. Hall

Monday 4/6 Message

Good Morning,
 
I hope that all of you are doing well.  You may have seen the news that we are likely going to have to complete the rest of this year using this online format.  I will miss seeing the smiles on your faces, but I will look forward to communicating with you any way that I can.  Please feel free to email me any time if you ever have any questions or if you just want to check in. 
 
I will continue to use this EDLIO page as my primary means of communication through the end of the school year.  I have also set up a class for us on a website called turnitin.com which allows you to submit assignments to me.  In order to use this site, your assignments have to be typed.  The site will not accept photographs.  If you did not type your journal responses, please feel free to take pictures of them and email them to me.  For the rest of the year, though, please try to use turnitin.com.  Here are the instructions.
 
Go to www.turnitin.com and create an account (if you do not have one already).  To sign up for my class, use the class ID:  24492952 and the key:  hall1010.  Let me know if you have any questions or problems.
 
So, your mission for today is (1) sign up for our class on turnitin.com, and (2) submit your journal responses to me either on turnitin.com or via email.  
 
Again, please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
 
Stay Safe.
 
Mr. Hall
