Warrior Scholars,
I wanted to thank you for your evaluations. They really validated what I feel I'm doing well in the classroom (plus, I'm a blue so it helped to get such great positive comments) and it also helped me set goals for myself. My three goals: 1) Try to talk slower, 2) Update our Google Calendar to reflect the homework assignments for the entire week, and 3) Make my expectations for homework clearer.
As you know, I will be out for the next two days working on our district benchmarks. Below you will find the assignments I expect to be completed while I'm gone:
Tuesday:
1. Bring your textbooks to class.
2. Read the Edgar Allan Poe biography and answer the questions on the handout (What do you know about EAP? What did you learn about EAP? How does an author's life affect his/her writing?)
