Sociology+Spring+2013+Announcements


 * //The most recent announcements will be updated at the top of this page.//**


 * 1. Today's FUS class **
 * //Sociology scholars, today you need to be working on either the (a) Words of Wisdom reflection, (2) the end of the semester wrap up, or (3) the end of the semester survey. If you were not here last class, be sure to get your survey # from Claire.//
 * //All 3 things are due before class starts on Wed May 22.//
 * //If you are taking a flex day today, be sure to tell the substitute teacher at the BEGINNING of class.//
 * //If you did a chapter study for personal exploration, you will be presenting in small groups on Mon May 20!//

**// TUESDAY APRIL 30 //**

 * 1. Soc/Talks Journal Reflections **
 * //There are 2 journal entries for today. The first video requires you to watch your own Soc/Talk and the second requires you to watch one that you have not already seen. Here are the prompts://
 * //Journal #1: Reflect on your own Soc/Talk. What did you do well on and what could be improved? What did you learn from watching your video?//


 * // Journal #2: Reflect on someone else's Soc/Talk (likely from the other class). Reflection should include analysis of content (not a summary), delivery, and should include any questions (at least 2) you would like to ask.) //


 * 1. Personal Exploration Deadline Update **
 * //A little flexibility for turning in personal exploration has been added. Here's how it works://
 * //Students hoping to earn up to 20 points must finish that part of the personal exploration by the original deadline// // (Tue Apr 30 for SoB, Wed May 1 for FUS). //
 * // Students wishing to earn the extra points beyond the 20 (up to 15 more for a total of 35) can finish the extra part of their personal explorations by the following dates for no late penalty: //
 * // SoB - Thu May 9 //
 * // FUS - Fri May 10 //
 * // (In other words, students hoping to earn 35 points can finish 20 by this coming week and do the other 15 by the following week. Sociology class time will be available for students to work on this, but KEEP IN MIND THAT APs are in the following week!) //
 * 2. KIS Soc/Talks Feedback **
 * //First of all, let me say that I am inspired by how well you guys have done over the past week in presenting your Soc/Talks. Most of you poured your heart & soul into your research and speech and it paid off! I'll explain more later but take this time to enjoy what you were able to accomplish.//
 * //If you have already presented your KIS Soc/Talk, I have emailed you feedback from your presentation and entered your score into PowerSchool. I plan on meeting with each of you to discuss your Soc/Talk in the upcoming week(s).//
 * //Also, next week, students will have an opportunity to evaluate their own Soc/Talk & to see one they have not seen as they will be available on YouTube in the near future!//

**// WEDNESDAY MARCH 13 //**

 * 1. It's Time for Personal Exploration! **
 * === //**When finished with the content test on Wed (SoB) or Thu (FUS)**//, students should do the following: ===
 * Go to PowerSchool to read the morning announcements, a.k.a. "daily bulletin."
 * Take one more look at the [|Spring 2013 Tentative Schedule] to get an understanding of what's coming up in March and April.
 * Spend the rest of class working on your personal exploration. Be sure to check the wiki link to know when/how you will be assessed!
 * //**In class on Thu (SoB) or Fri (FUS)**//, students should to the following:
 * Work on their individual personal exploration. If students wish to use their flex day to work on other assignments, they must tell Ms. Reinke __ at the beginning of the period __.
 * At 2:50, students should, at the top of their personal exploration plan Google Doc, write the following: "In the last 1.5 class periods, I have accomplished the following with my personal exploration: _." Be sure to fill in the blank! (2-4 sentences is fine)
 * For class next week, be prepared to work on your personal exploration though there may not be class time to work on it. (Hopefully there will be.)
