7th Grade Leveled Assignments

Click here for a digital copy of what you received in class. I made the adjustments we discussed in class.

Also, for the videos: Make sure you write down who does what for the production. If you are completing assignment #22, make sure you have a written plot line, script, and list of characters. Make sure all videos are either in DVD form or some other digital version. I can play most video formats on my computer. If in doubt, clear it with me several days ahead of time.

You all have my email in case you have questions while you're at home.

Responsibility Note

Attention all middle school students:

Do not use this blog, which is for your convenience and to communicate with parents, as an excuse to not copy down your homework assignments. If for some reason I am not able to post, you are still responsible for doing your homework!

Make sure you still copy homework assignments in your planner. Responsibility means considering all possible obstacles to a task/expectation and working out ways to get it done anyway. The most successful people in the world are successful because they don't let anything get in the way. They don't make excuses.

Do not deceive your parents by telling them this is the only place you are told about homework (you are told in class, on my homework board, and also at the end of the day in your homeroom).

8th Grade Computer Note

Mrs. Urban says you can make your data graphs during computers if necessary (or at home if you prefer). Just make sure you get your plaque poem and your trip itinerary (see link in links section) done. Plaque poems are due ASAP and the trip itinerary is due at the end of May.
