Adjusted Lesson Plans

Dear Students,

Due to the scheduling snafu of last week, some of you are still adding to the class, and some of you are still planning to leave. Thus, I'm retooling some of my original (patented, highly inventive, and totally awesome) lesson plans to ameliorate any concerns some of you might have.

SOPHYS: If you did not have Mrs. Padgett last year, then you may opt for the adjusted schedule for the summer reading assignment. The assignment was on the BHS website and was heavily advertised, but I'll err on the side of compassion and give you an additional couple of weeks to catch up. For everyone else: The rough draft of the paper evaluating Mersault and Willy Loman is due in class tomorrow for peer evaluation, while the newer students may read. The final copy will be due at the end of the week (September 4) instead of the original due date of Tuesday. We will discuss all of this in class tomorrow.

The check-reading test for most of you will be on Tuesday, September 1--bring a pencil. Again, new students may read during the administration of the test.

APees: Our schedule wasn't as altered, since most of the students moving from class to class were switching from Mrs. Covert to my class or vice-versa, and she and I are pretty much on the same page. However, we did have fire drills and such to contend with, so I am adjusting a little bit--the discussion questions for MB will be in class on Monday, instead of last week as I had originally planned.
