English I
Information and updates on Mrs. Crawford's English classes.
The Interview Narrative
The English I students worked on revising and editing their final Interview Narrative Essays for final submission tomorrow night (9/24) by midnight in Google Classroom at classroom.google.com. They have been working diligently on multiple skills to complete these essays, and thank you to those of you who agreed to be interviewed by your student for this assignment. The scores will be posted in Active Grade within the next week or so after submissions.
Active Grade
In case anyone has not had the chance to view the presentation from Parent Night, we are using a separate gradebook from Skyward in this class called Active Grade. Your students received their log in information in class already, but if they have not given it to you I can send you the information yourself so that you may access their scores and see what skills they have worked on thus far. You can access their accounts at activegrade.appspot.com
using the Class Code: CrawfordClass
Membean
Students are expected to practice their vocabulary at www.membean.com for 30 minutes a week in two separate sessions (15 min. given in class).
W.E.I.R.D. Time
We Enjoy Independent Reading Daily! Well, maybe not daily, but students were given some free reading time in class this week to read any book of their choice. We will have W.E.I.R.D. time throughout the school year, so encourage your student to find something they love to read and make recommendations for them!
Digital Classroom
Students have been practicing their use of Google Classroom, Google Docs, and Google Drive these last few weeks as we complete and submit assignments digitally.
Coming up...
Unit 1: Ad Campaign
Now that we are wrapping up the Interview Narrative, we will be moving on to the more creative Advertising Campaign on a book (summer reading). You can find a link to the summer reading options below, in case some students still need to complete their reading.
