Course: Enriched English 10

This week, we're really getting into The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. In lieu of Moodle posts this week, you'll be posting on the Ning site. I'll present more information on this in class on Monday. Basically, we're going to do a simulation regarding immigration and assimilation. Each person will take on the identity of a stakeholder in the immigration issue and post as that person throughout the simulation. This will be fun! (Yes, I know, I think everything is fun.)

Once you've decided on your Ning identity, fill out this form to tell me who you are.  I'll keep this information confidential.

Check out this week's document for more information on daily assignments and activities. It's a weird week again, this time because of science testing. Everyone has required class Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday because of the media center closings. There are optional sessions on Tuesday and Friday. Check out the video for a preview of these sessions. Here's a slight change because Mac is sick and I have to stay home with him on Monday: the first part of Tuesday will be required, as well, so I can explain the Ning assignment. Don't do anything with Ning until after Tuesday. This change is now reflected in the weekly document.

Another change this week is that the end-of-week reflection is optional. If you have something that you want me to know, please post! Otherwise, you can take the week off. This is not a forever change, so be prepared to post a reflection again next week.
