Tuesday 4/14 Message

Good Morning,
 
I have a couple of notes to share this morning.
 
First, many of you noticed that we had a vocabulary quiz scheduled for yesterday.  This quiz was scheduled when we were on track to return to school on April 6th.  Now that we will be distance learning for the foreseeable future, we will not be having any vocabulary quizzes.  I apologize for the confusion I created by not making this announcement before yesterday.
 
Second, I am going to try to set up a real time discussion board for Thursday morning.  This means that if you go to turnitin.com on Thursday morning and hit the discussion tab, you will be able to type in questions or comments about Into the Wild.  If a bunch of us are logged on at a scheduled time, we will be able to have a live "discussion" of sorts.  Thursday's session is not mandatory (you will not get a grade for it), but I will be there at the times listed below, and I would love to hear from you.
 
Period 2:  9:00 - 9:20
Period 3:  9:20 - 9:40
Period 4:  9:40 - 10:00
 
Please note:  Some of you signed up for the wrong period on turnitin.com.  I think you will have to show up for the period to which you signed up in order to participate.
 
That's it for today.  Keep working on those reading comprehension questions and quotation responses for Ch.11 - Epilogue of Into the Wild, and, as always, email me if you have any questions.
 
Mr. Hall
