Pictures, Grade Change Forms, and HW for Periods 3 & 5

All Classes:   To the right, towards the top, there is a link list for ALL CLASSES.  Click on the Grade Change Form to print them.  You will use these when there is an error in grading :)  Keep them in your binder, and turn one in (with the appropriate documentation) when there is a discrepancy.

We will be taking you down to the auditorium for school pictures Thursday and Friday during English class. (Ugghhh!)  Anyway, if you need a form to purchase photos, check on the shelf by the door (under your phone chart). 


Periods 3 & 5 (all other classes, hold off on this until we format your class tomorrow):  You need to do your pre-test for Reading Plus :)  If you have trouble entering Reading Plus through your student portal, click here and enter hia117 as the site code. (Scroll down to Rodriguez and your period, click on it, then enter your your student ID as your password.


Don't forget to read the chapter(s) for your respective novels.  Period 3, you have your bookmark already (it's not due until next week, but start it now).  Period 5, you are going to create your own BOOKMARK for Chapter Three using your vocab words (it needs to be in the shape of a bookmark).  You will describe a character, his/her actions, or an event while using your vocab words.   Use 15 words total: ten from Unit 2, three words from Unit 1, and two words from the summer words (always underline the vocab words in your sentences).  

Here is an example: Bayardo's derision towards Angela may stem from two forces: her unconscionable act or the major blow to his ego.

I know I used two words in that sentence, but you would only need to include one per sentence.  (I wasn't trying to show off, I promise.  It just worked out that way. How about this? If you can work in two words into one sentence, we'll be OK with it.  Just be sure you use the words properly and provide enough context for us to know that you know what the words mean.  Gosh, I love compromise!) 

Love you all!

  1. I have a problem that when I go on Reading Plus and I try to take my pre-test, this occurs: Could not load in Java Plug-In 22 NPAPI browsers, Couldn't load Plug-In, etc.

    I am afraid that this is the only computer I can use for this and I have tried many ways to fix this (my Mac is WAY out of date though) but to no avail. Is there any way I can do this on a school computer tomorrow or someone to print out the pre-test or email me a PDF of the pre-test for Reading Plus - Rodriguez 3?

    Thanks.

    It was on the board, my dear :) Where were you? Though we love our blog, and we insist you visit us here daily (or at least once in between our days apart), you are still expected to write things down in class that are on the board. It takes ton of time to maintain the blog, and we don't want to do the work twice. This time, I am bailing you out. Next time, you are on your own, kid!

    Square 1 - Include a title that encompasses all four chapters (two words or less), then draw a picture that depicts your title.

    Square 2 - This will be your rationale for your title/picture selection.

    Square 3 - Write down our literary tools you found (name of lit tool, the example, and page number).

    Square 4 - What is the tone of these four chapters? Use details from the novel to support your choice.

    SEE YOU TOMORROW :) Sorry this is so late, but I just got home :)
