Assessment Rubric for this piece is on left side of blog - Identity Unit. You are only graded on Meaning (Your ideas) and Structure (How you organzie your piece)
The editors of SAS Crossroads Magazine are looking for a couple of 7th graders to write an article on their experience at CWW. If you would like to have your writing published in the SAS magazine, drop me an email and begin your piece. Deadline is Sept 17th. Any person who volunteers will get class time to work on their piece. The piece just needs to be a reflection stating what you have taken away from the experience, possibly with some anecdotes. Any volunteers?
How strong is your claim about: What you have learned about yourself so far?
Win+1 if you add your claim to 'comments'
On Monday, you will write your first piece on your identity unit. This is your rubric. Optional:You may work on this on the w/end if you choose to do so. G/H class - you may want to spend time thinking about your claim and evidence
G/H Class - YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ TODAY'S BLOGPOST. Make sure you are practicing your Parts of Speech, spending at least 5mins on your Membean and doing 20-30mins of independent reading. Keep your reading log up to date! I am no longer chasing G/H students for your monthly message. If you have a zero in PowerSchool for this, you know what to do! Optional: Enjoy Varun's excellent MM poem -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make a copy of this file: Core Values

IMPORTANT
Resubmitting Assignments, Missed Work or Late Work
I have added a file to the right side of the blog for resubmitting assignments.
If you do not turn your work in on time or wish to resubmit for a higher grade, you must put the link to your resubmitted work in this file if you want to get your work regraded. If you are absent from school, any missed work should be resubmitted here. Work that is not turned in on time, automatically receives a failing grade until it is resubmitted. To get this grade changes, it is your responsibility then to get the work to me. I will NOT chase you up for work. If you have a '0' in powerschool for any reason, it will only be changed when you put the link (shared with me) in the resubmitted work place. DO NOT SEND ME AN EMAIL with your work in it. I get more than 50 emails a day that need my attention. Your work might get lost. Once your work is in the Resubmitted Work File, it will be graded within 7 days.
e.g. Links that might need putting in R.W.F. now?
G/H class - All the people that did not hand in their monthly message by class today (Tue)
All classes - people that did not turn in their first 'claim' from two weeks ago.
People that did not complete the summative 'Claims and Evidence' test or wish to redo the summative test
Ask any questions you have about this under comments

Enjoy Ramu's exemplary piece that provides multiple pieces of evidence from his OWN work. He is not just regurgitating what was taught in class.
