Wed. 9-26  Yom Kippur

 

Thurs. 9-27  ALL classes: I will give out SPEAK novels and make parts 1, 2, 3, & 4 assignments/due dates; give out handouts on statistics re: rape, signs of depression, characteristics of resilient children, and talk about seasons in our lives/in literature and self-advocacy – or SPEAKing up for oneself; study packet for marking period 4 will be given to you to use as a model for study packets for marking periods1, 2 &3.  One group will be responsible for a study packet for three of the four marking periods on each SPEAK reading due date.  That packet needs to be given to me by 7:45 AM that morning so that I can make a copy for all members of the class.  The designated group will guide the class through the packet/marking period.  Each group should appoint a leader who can delegate jobs to members.  Use my packet as an organizational approach.  Do not let me hear that you have failed to “pull your weight” in this collaborative effort and have let your group down.It is up to your group members to agree on morning, afternoon or night times to meet; you may certainly skype as well to work with others.
