For Tuesday's Class

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying your three day weekend (I know I am). I just wanted to give everyone a head's up as to our schedule for this up-coming week.

As we spoke about on Friday, your Success Collages are due this Tuesday (January 18th), by the start of class. Please use our class discussions, your creativity and imagination, as well as Lesson 5 in the Roadtrip Nation experience to guide you. Some of you have already submitted your collages to me via Glogter or Tumblr and they are tremendous. For those of you using these internet sites to construct your collage, make sure I receive an e-mail before the start of class directing me to your completed assignment. You may complete the collages by hand, but then you must bring it to school on Tuesday so I can give you credit for having completed the assignment.

The url addresses for Glogter and Tumblr are:

www.glogster.com
www.tumblr.com

On a more somber note, some of you still haven't submitted your three teacher interviews. You have missed the deadline, but I still need to receive the assignment in order for you to complete the Roadtrip Nation curriculum. Please get those to me immediately.

Finally, some of you have told me that your parents will not allow you go to a restaurant to complete the restaurant review assignment. Many of you have informed me that you are either grounded (hmmm...) or that your parents don't believe this assignment exists. Please show them this section of the website as proof that I am assigning you to go to a restaurant and write a review, and refer them to Lesson 4 in the Roadtrip Nation experience. Please read that lesson before writing your review and follow the directions that are given to you. The restaurant review is due on Monday, January 24th by the start of class. On Monday we will design a rubric for you to use when critiquing the restaurant of your choice.

I would suggest that you go on the NY Times website and read some of their restaurant reviews or you can simply google or bing NY Times restaurant reviews.

If you have any questions please e-mail me, otherwise enjoy the rest of your weekend and I will see you in class on Tuesday.
