Today's agenda:
1) Benchmark 2!
This took up most of the period, so we will have the minimum wage seminar tomorrow. I will be creating a new 1984 calendar so that we can account for the days lost to testing. You should receive this tomorrow.
Tonight:
1) Read through page 156 in 1984. We will discuss these pages in class tomorrow, and we will be going back to cover the earlier pages as well.
2) Complete your blog post for this week. It will be due on Thursday afternoon by 2:30. This will be the first homework grade for the new quarter. The seminar on Friday, however, will count for Quarter 1. It will be your final opportunity to get those seminar grades for this quarter. www.nytimes.com/2013/04/09/technology/coursesmart-e-textbooks-track-students-progress-for-teachers.html?_r=0
