The most current list of eligible students for our Zora field trip is HERE. It's by period, so look to see if you qualify. The first 50 students on that list to bring their $22 will attend. This will pay for your food and tip for the bus driver. You may want to bring extra cash for t-shirts, arts and craft items, or more food (if you have that kind of appetite). When you turn in your money, you will get a field trip form. If you are on the list and cannot pay for any reason, please email us ASAP.
The trip is on Friday, 2/1. There is no school that day :) We will leave here at 6:45 a.m. and return by 11 p.m. that same day. There will also be a digital scrapbook assignment that you will present to our classes when you return on Monday and Tuesday!
Smile and love you!

Julius Caesar and TEWWG Celebrations
Periods 3 & 4 - We are doing our CAESAR CELEBRATION/TOGA PARTY this Monday (3rd period) and Tuesday (4th period)! This is your final reminder. If you signed up to bring in $3 for Caesar's Zealous Ziti, give it to me before you leave tomorrow. If not, you can bring it the day of your period's party.
Periods 2, 5, and 6 - We're going to have a celebration to bring TEWWG to a close. Let's go with Southern-style food. Refer to the novel for some ideas. We will have our Zora celebration on Wednesday and Thursday next week. We will have sign ups in class this week and next!

IMPORTATNT: Your Readings for Tues/Wed.
All Periods: Remember your Reading Plus. Please do two your sessions by Tuesday. On Feb 5th, we will also be grading you on "BEING CAUGHT UP." By then, you should have 34 sessions.
In addition, based on your grades for the last two nine weeks, your absences, and your number of Reading Plus sessions, we submitted a list yesterday to administration for students to be removed from our class. We don't want to let you go, but we have to at this point. Understand that many of you, based on similar criteria, are going on contract. If you fail to meet the requirements of this contract, you will also be removed from our class WITHOUT HESITATION. Understand that once you are out, it is HIGHLY unlikely that you will be readmitted into the English portion of the Cambridge program. (This is NOT a joke or to stir emotion; this is, unfortunately, very real.)
Periods 2, 5, 6: Check our new site (TEAMROGO.COM) for the assignment for your readings this week. DO THIS TODAY! Remember to click on the ENGLISH LANG tab at the top to access your class page.
Periods 3 & 4: Remember that you are reading Part One, Chapters I and II. Please annotate your novels in the margins or on Post-It notes. You also need to leave a comment on our new site: TEAMROGO.COM. Once you go to the site, look for the GEN PAPER tab, then click on it. This is your page!
We love you all very, very much! Looking forward to a wonderful week of learning and a semester of SUCCESS!

Weekend Details!
Periods 2 and 6: For next class, read chapters 8-11. You will
all be caught up with the reading calendar by Tuesday! Yay! As
someone pointed out today, MoGo and I have read this novel several times
and know the many detailed points of it. As a result, some of our
questions are equally detailed, and many of you struggle. Please
understand it's hard not to be so detailed when Spark supplies
you with so much information. Be sure to make QUALITY ANNOTATIONS in
your novel for these chapters, and that will help! Sorry if I failed you as a teacher
today. :(
Period 5: You are reading Chapters 5-7 for Monday. It's a fairly large amount of pages, so do not wait until the last minute. Be sure to make QUALITY ANNOTATIONS in your novel for these chapters, and that will help! You will read 8-11 for Wednesday and will also be caught up! :)
Period 3: As you probably read already, we selected 1984 by George Orwell as our next novel! You have the option to bring us money to order your copy ($10), buy your own copy, or you can check one out from a library by searching destiny.dadeschools.net. You need the novel by Friday, Jan. 18th, as the first quiz will be on Tuesday, Jan. 22nd. We will collect money Monday ONLY. Again, if you exhaust all of the aforementioned options, and you cannot afford a book, know that we have your back, just let us know! In addition, bring in your revised news stories printed out and on a USB (in case more changes need to be made).
Period 4: Look in the General Paper (or GP) column to the right of the blog. Scroll down to the vocab section and there is your new list of words (Unit 6)! With those words, create a chart, and fill it in accordingly (CLICK HERE TO SEE THE CHART). In addition, bring in your revised news stories printed out and on a USB (in case more changes need to be made).
As always, know we love you!

HW - All classes
All Classes: Remember, you need to have 28 sessions of Reading Plus by Tuesday, Jan. 15th! There is no activity for Word of the Week this week, though we have a big one coming up next week! Be ready! MAKE SURE ALL OF YOUR WORDS ARE IN YOUR VOCAB JOURNALS! Don't be surprised if we don't check journals VERY SOON!
Periods 2, 5, and 6: Read chapters 5-7 of Their Eyes Were Watching God for next class. We will attempt to get caught up with the reading calendar by Monday. Remember that you need to do well on your tests to go on the Zora! field trip Feb 1st to Eatonville, FL (details about the trip will follow soon). Some of you already failed the first quiz, so get on the ball. You will need to have an average of 80% on all our assessments if you want to attend. If you need to see the reading calendar, click HERE. In addition, Natalie V. in second period found THIS GLOSSARY to help her understand some of the colloquialisms in the novel. It is organized by chapter and is fairly thorough. Thank you, Natalie V., for sharing it with us!
Periods 3 & 4: You need to finish your personal news story essays AND sign up for our Julius Caesar celebration a few posts below this one. In addition, we selected 1984 by George Orwell as our next novel, so you need to bring in $10 for your copy if you need us to order it for you. You also have the option to buy your own copy, or you can check one out from a library by searching destiny.dadeschools.net.

REMINDER....
Happy New Year! Check the post below this one about Reading Plus. I checked it today, and many of you are STILL NOT on track for the 26 sessions for 1/8/13!
ALL JUNIORS - If you DID NOT buy your copy of Their Eyes Were Watching God from us, you will need to have your copy come Monday (or Tuesday for 5th period). Bring it to class, as we will be starting it then.
MISS YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!
Love,
C-Rod and MoGo
