Can't wait to see you! If you are not in class, it is your responsibility to make arrangements for missing papers that are handed out in class along with assignment expectations!

Feel to fee to ask any questions in the blog comments...if you have a question, others probably have the same one! Or email me!

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! 

It has been brought to my attention that I have an older edition of the class textbook than you just purchased at the bookstore. I will need to make some updates to the weekly agendas. I will have that ready by next Monday.

WOW...Sure missed everyone that was not in class!! Remember if you miss one night of class, it is like missing 3 days of class. :( The highlighted items above will be looked at in class next Monday.

Assignments that are due next week:

• Bio-bags...I would still like to see these from all students. Remember that I modeled an example of a bio-bag on my first screencast on the first blog entry. There is also a rubric on the MY UTTC website so you will know what I expect. (Was due tonight.)
• Genre-Book Study for a Native American Book (Form on UTTC)...this was to be done in class tonight. There is model of a genre book study on the UTTC website.
• Presentation for Native American Book (Rubric on UTTC)...this was to be done in class tonight.
• Genre-Book Study for a Picture Book (Form on UTTC)...see Resources at the end of chapter 3.
• Presentation for a Picture Book (Rubric on UTTC)
• Read Chapter 4 and Do quiz on Diversity....make sure you are using the chapter quiz that corresponds to the 4th Edition.

I know this looks like a lot but most of it was to be done in class tonight or was due by tonight.  We will cover Picture Book (Ch. 3) next week and review Diversity in Text (Ch. 4). 

SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!!!
