Greenhouse Fall 22-23-Period 6 Assignments

This document is NOT due to turnitin.com at this time. Instead, you must print a copy to have for class on Tuesday.

Have you completed and PRINTED this document?

Either of the remaining groups could be asked to participate. Do not yet move on in the reading. This RCD will also cover pages 3-125. Remaining topics are revenge and fame.

The discussions will focus on the topics of fame, revenge, and the hero/villain dynamic. It may be a good idea to prepare some additional handwritten notes on the various topics. Remember though that you may only use handwritten notes from your notebook and the physical book during the discussion.

Access the attachment and answer the 5 SRP questions in your notebook while working with a teacher-assigned group.

Have you already completed this page?

Follow these steps:

1. Get to naviance through Clever.com.
2. Go to "Self Discovery."
3. Then go to "Career Interest Profiler." Take the profiler. There are 60 questions.

Once done, access the attachment below and answer the four questions in your notebook. For #4, you should pick 2-3 field clusters and number them in order of preference.

Have you completed this page?

This notebook page is a 4-square that goes with the reading of pages 91-125. When reading, follow along with the audio. Start at 56:06 in part 1 of the audio and go to 7:53 in part 2. Do the whole page. It should be set up exactly like page A53.

Read pages 57-91. The matching audio is 38:30-56:06.

This notebook page is for a 4-square. On the top, do 4 vocab. and 4 events. On the bottom, do one note-worthy line (about hero/villain, fame, revenge, or religion) on the left. Then, in your explanation on the right, you should do some analysis. What is note-worthy about the line? Consider characterization, theme or technique.

This is a reminder that you will need access to your recorded 1st interview and headphones to listen to it quietly during class.

In your notebook, reproduce and complete this two-page SRP document.

Have you already completed these two notebook pages?

Read 23-57 (18:00-38:30 of audio) and do the top two boxes. 4 vocab. words of your choice with parts of speech and definitions.

Read these pages and record the 4+ vocab. words with parts of speech and definitions in the upper left box. Also record 4+ important events from the plot in the top right box. On the bottom half of the page, write about the hero/villain dynamic. How and why has the dynamic changed over time? Write 7+ sentences.

1. Bring books for the library swap.
2. Obtain the mailing address for your thank you card.

See the attachment for directions about what to do on this notebook page.

Have you completed this notebook page?

Finish your IR book and be ready to talk about it during your group's RCD.

This notebook check is worth 55 points. A39-A45 are 7 pages for 2 DJ's apiece. You only need to do 5 of those pages for a total of 10 DJ's. Have your notebook in class. You need it for the last RCD (on your IR book) and then you will need to leave it with me over winter break.

Answer three of the six questions with at least 75 words each. Do this in a Google Doc and submit it to turnitin.com by 12:50 pm

1. What was your favorite text and why?


2. What was your favorite academic activity and why?


3. Should we keep working on our happiness (body breaks)? Why?


4. Should we keep intentionally breathing (60 seconds)? Why?


5. What aspects of our Google Classroom are really working for you? Explain.


6. Are you proud of your performance in this class? Will you make adjustments next semester? Explain.


*Is there anything else you'd like me to know?

Missing an RCD? Or want to improve from a D or C to a B- on an RCD? Check Aeries and be aware. On Friday there will be an opportunity to participate in an extra RCD. The subject matter is Waiting for Superman.

The final draft of the synthesis paper is due to turnitin before class on Thursday.

Your paper must contain proper in-text citations and a works cited page.

Your paper must be between 600 and 1000 words. The word count does not include the works cited page.
Remove the prompt from your draft before submitting.

Double space your paper.

Look closely at what turnitin highlights as potentially plagiarized. Try to fix any problem areas on your own. It's a good rule of thumb that if you have four or more consecutive words in a row that are highlighted and not in quotes, you probably didn't paraphrase enough.

If things look plagiarised, does it look like you're stealing evidence (facts from sources) or commentary (voice via adjectives)? Or both?

This page is for two dialectical journals done in class on 12/9.

This page is for two MORE dialectical journals done in class on 12/9. You can pull the quotes from earlier or later pages, but if you are properly pacing the reading, you will have read 150+ pages before class on Tuesday, 12/13.

IF YOUR INTERVIEWEE DIDN'T WANT TO BE RECORDED, DO THE FOLLOWING IN LIEU OF SUBMITTING THE RECORDING: Using an outside (yet professional) email address, send an email to your interviewee. CC me. The email should read, 

"Dear INTERVIEWEE'S NAME,
Thank you for allowing me to interview you. My teacher has asked that I reach out to you by email today. She is cc'd here. It is her request that you 'reply all' and type 'yes' as proof that I truly interviewed you on DATE. I appreciate your help with this followup. Thank you. 

Sincerely,

YOUR NAME"

Take all 20 OPEN-ENDED questions to the interview. Ask the highlighted 10 first and the others if you have time. Set a timer at the beginning of the interview. Once 30 minutes have passed OR you've asked all 20 questions (whichever comes first), you have permission to end the interview. Remember that you may ask about the mentor's college and career choices. You may also ask about their thoughts are your upcoming choices. Furthermore, do they know professionals who do what you might want to do for a living?
Save the document that contains all of your questions, not just the ones you are able to ask. ALL of the questions will be submitted to turnitin.com at a later date. 

The recording is due on 12/9. It must be submitted HERE. I recommend using the site vocaroo to record. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PERMISSION. If not, have someone focus on taking notes so that you can focus on asking questions.

Ms. Engelhard says, "unfortunately, Vocaroo is no longer an option (something to do with them being based in Germany and the firewall). I would recommend using their phones with voice notes OR anchor.fm is a great and free option."

This page consists of two NWL's and explanations. Please include page numbers for the quotes.

This page consists of two NWL's and explanations. Please include page numbers for the quotes.

This deadline has been extended to 11:59 pm tonight.

1. Have an electronic copy of your complete interview questions at the ready! You'll need to have 20 open-ended and well written questions. Decide which 10 you are the most interested in asking. Move them to the top of the document and consider the best order in which to ask them. Renumber.
2. Also have 1-2 HARD COPIES of your ANONYMOUS SP draft 1. Write only a 1, 2, or 3 at the top to indicate your prompt.
3. Bring your IR book to class.

This is due to turnitin.com by the end of class today. The draft should include five quotes and be at least 600 words long.

You came in the door with 10 quotes and explanations from 3 sources. NOW, add proper in-text citations. This is simply the author's name in parentheses just outside the close quote marks. IF you use a source that has no author, put the title of the article in quotes AND also in parentheses just outside the close quote marks. Submit this document to turnitin.com before class on Wednesday.

DRAFT 2 DOES NOT NEED TO BE SUBMITTED TO TURNITIN.COM, BUT YOU MUST SHOW ME THE DOC IN CLASS TO EARN POINTS.

This draft must contain a minimum of ten quotes (noteworthy lines) from a minimum of three sources. You must use Gladwell (Outliers chapter 9 or the college costs video) and an article that I gave you. The third source may be your own. However, if you do the first prompt, it is acceptable to choose a third from the additional choices I give you. Please see the sample attached to the draft 1 post AND the list of teacher provided sources attached here.

Please include page numbers for your NWL's. Follow each quote with an explanation about how it may be helpful in addressing the prompt.
Set it up like this:

Prompt

Planned stance -defend, challenge, or qualify.

Source1
noteworthy lines and explanations

Source 2
Repeat steps

Source 3
Repeat steps


Add'l requirements, at this point one of your NWL/EX. pairs must be a counterclaim. If you don't like Gladwell or you plan to challenge any of the prompts, you can use Gladwell for your counterclaim.

Drafts 1 and 2 are worth 20 points each. DRAFT 1 was technically due to turnitin before class on 11/9. Because that wasn't clear in the post, you may turn it in before class on 11/14 without penalty.

As you know, DRAFT 2 is due at the beginning of class on 11/14. It does not need to be submitted to turnitin.com. Simply show me your doc in class.

This page is a 6-square for 3 note-worthy lines and their corresponding explanations.

You have a hard copies of an article on gaming and college costs. The video on college costs is linked below.

I'VE ATTACHED A SAMPLE. IN THE SAMPLE, YOU CAN SEE THE THINKING FOR FIVE CONCRETE DETAILS, BUT ONLY THE FIRST TWO ARE ACTUALLY QUOTED AND SETUP HOW I EXPECT YOU TO SETUP YOUR DOCUMENT.

This draft must contain a minimum of five quotes (noteworthy lines) from a minimum of two sources. You must use Gladwell (Outliers chapter 9 or the college costs video) and an article that I gave you. Please include page numbers. Follow each quote with an explanation about how it may be helpful in addressing the prompt.
Set it up like this:

Prompt

Planned stance -defend, challenge, or qualify.

Source1
2-3 noteworthy lines and explanations

Source 2

Repeat steps

*Please know that you will ultimately need to gather 10 NWL's and explanations (one of which must be a counterclaim) from three or more sources before drafting this paper. So keep this in mind when choosing noteworthy lines. If you don't like Gladwell or you plan to challenge any of the prompts, your Gladwell quote can be your counterclaim. If you choose prompt 1, I will provide contary texts. If you choose prompts 2 or 3, you will likely have to find you own third source that contains a different perspective.

Read the two articles. Record a worthy line and explanation from each article. Anyone and everyone could be pulled into an RCD about the summer vacation debate on Monday.

Look back at your answer to #8 on page A21? In 2022, how do we reconcile a widening income gap (and summer vacation connection) with a new attention to all things wellness? Can you point out any connections or disconnections to the documentary Happy?

How does the Epilogue add to your understanding of Gladwell's personal history? How does his personal history contribute to the overall arguments in the book? Should this have been an actual chapter? Why, or why not?

*Fill the entire page by answering any or all of the above questions.

Read through prompts and select the prompt you think you may want to address with an essay. Type a 1, 2, or 3 in the Stream to indicate your interest at this point. You may change your mind later.

Read chapter 9. Prepare for RCD 3, day 3. Complete A27.

Same setup as A25. Also, prepare for RCD 3, day 2.

Finish reading chapter 7 (pages 200-223) and complete the 4-square. Also, prepare for RCD 3, day 1.

Complete the 4 score. 8+ vocab. and pertinent points. 1 note-worthy line with response. 1 technique box with 3 steps detailed in directions for A15.

I will sign 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, and 30 on Monday. Also, if you still don't have a score on A11-A20 (score out of 100 recorded on page A11), you MUST leave your notebooks with me at the end of class on Monday.

Consider how your editor scored your paper against the rubric. Make any necessary changes and submit the paper to turnitin.com before class on Monday.
*Return the physical rubric. Your editor wants their points and I can use the backside of the rubric when I score your papers.

PERSPECTIVE -Consider what your application doesn't already communicate about you. What else do you want colleges or the workforce to know about you?

1. What three events, activities, or trips have been meaningful to you? Why were these significant? What did you learn? (Spend about 1/2 the page on #1).
2. What can you offer a college in terms of your personal character, talent, or interests?
3. What gifts, interests, or qualities are unique to you?
4. Which of the things mentioned in numbers 1-3 already appear in your PS? Are there any that should now be included? (You should be able to fill the bottom half with answers to #'s 2-4).

REMEMBER -*Because you can't focus on everything, it's your challenge to focus on AN event, quality, OR experience. I also recommend explicitly connecting that thing to your future in terms of contributions you'll make either next year on a college campus or eventually in the workforce.

Have you completed and submitted this assignment?

Be ready to be pulled into a discussion of chapter 4. You are welcome to make personal connections to the text, but please also be prepared to talk about Gladwell's writing technique. You may use your notebooks and books during the discussion. However, you may not use typed notes or electronic devices.

You'll need 5+ vocabulary words, parts of speech, and definitions. Use these words:

You'll need 5+ pertinent points.

In each of the bottom two boxes, follow these steps:
1. Quote an excerpt from an interesting passage.
2. Describe the writing technique you see used in the quoted passage. Don't worry too much about labeling it as a specific literary device.
3. Argue that the technique is effective or not. It may help to consider the author's purpose. Is the author's goal to inform, entertain, or persuade? Does he acheive that goal?

See the attached sample.

Fill the page with your answers to any or all of questions 6, 8, and 9 in the back of the back. These questions are NOT visible in the PDF on Classroom.

1. defy -70
2. mitigation -73
3. threshold -80
4. fared -85
5. subversive -87

These notes should be in the same format as A14.

This page is a 4-square to explore the author's technique in various passages. You must do the following steps in each box:
1. Quote an excerpt from an interesting passage.
2. Describe the writing technique you see used in the quoted passage. Don't worry too much about labeling it as a specific literary device.
3. Argue that the technique is effective or not. It may help to consider the author's purpose. Is the author's goal to inform, entertain, or persuade? Does he acheive that goal?

Choose four of the following seven passages. Explore one in each box.

a. bottom 19 to mid 20
b. mid 23 to mid 24
c. bottom 32 to bottom of 33
d. top of 40 to mid 42
e. top of 49 to mid 50
f. the graphic on pages 56-61
g. the last three lines of 68

This page is a 3-square with a big bottom. Read the rest of chapter 2. Add to the pertinent points box. The chapter has six sections so you should have at least six pertinent (important) author points recorded. Then, in the bottom box, answer these questions: "Do you find the 10,000 hour rule encouraging or discouraging? Can you use it to help you make choices about activities you have already spend 1000's of hours doing?" Fill the half page.

Take Cornell notes on these things:
1. An interesting thing your group member says.
2. An interesting thing some other specific person says. Be sure to use names for items 1 and 2.
3. Something that's said with which you strongly agree or disagree. Explain.

The above topics should be listed on the left. Your corresponding findings go on the right.

In a 2+ sentence reflection at the bottom of the page, write about whether or not your thinking or understanding of the reading was changed by the discussion. Explain.

Everyone is partnered with at least two other people. We will always do these RCD's in three different rounds. One group member participates in the discussion while the others observe and take notes. Participants do not take notes while participating. However, they must still make the notebook page for notes and write the word "participant" in large letters diagonally across the page.

Finish reading chapter 1 and record 6 pertinent points the author makes -one for each of the numbered sections.

Answer numbers 3 and/or 4 from "Questions and topics for discussion" near the back of the book. You must fill the bottom half of the page. If you can fill the half page with your answer to one of the two questions, you don't need to answer both.

Give me parts of speech and definitions in the top left box. Use these 6 words:

algorithm, 36
innately, 38
naturals, 39 (pull definiton from context, not dictionary)
grinds, 39 (pull def. from context, not dictionary)
precocious, 51
earnest, 62

In the top right box, you'll eventually record 6 pertinent points. Today, you are only reading the first 4 sections, through page 50. So record 4 pertinent points.

Fill a page with some free writing related to Outliers.

1. What influence has your birthday had on your sporting or educational success?

3. patronage (19)
4. phenomenon (21)
5. inherently (25)

Resubmit PPFD -What did you change from draft 1 to 2? Explain with 2+ sentences. Do this at the bottom of your Google doc. Also, highlight the non-sight imagery of which you are the most proud. Then resubmit. It's called Personal Piece, final draft (AGAIN).

Consider the comments your peer reviewer made. If your paper wasn't reviewed, you can ask someone at home to review your writing using the attachment.

Reread the requirements as detailed in the post for draft 1.


Decide on a great title and make any other necessary changes.


Submit the second (final) draft to turnitin.com before class.

Print the final draft if you want 5 bonus points for letting me put it up in the classroom.

Submit a typed draft of some personal writing. There should be some connection to your PPP art project as you will have the option to have it posted in the classroom with all the PPP projects. You will not be graded on the connection though. You will be graded instead on your ability to vividly communicate something about you, your PPP, or the way you think. Your draft must be at least 250 words or 10+ lines of poetry. It also must make use of imagery (appeal to one of the four of the senses beyond sight).

Submit this assignment to turnitin.com before class on Tuesday.

Remember to have it charged and packed.

For Thursday, you must do a free write (full page) or a poem (10+ lines) that is about your people, your places, your possessions to a degree. A10 itself will get a quantity score. I suggest you intentionally integrate imagery.

A10 will turn into a more polished piece that will be submitted to turnitin.com on 9/6. Upon that submission, there should be some connection to your PPP art project as you will have the option to have it posted in the classroom with all the PPP projects. You will not be graded on the connection though. You will be graded instead on your ability to vividly communicate something about you, your PPP, or the way you think. The product due 9/6 will need to be at least 250 words or 10+ lines of poetry and it must make use of imagery (appeal to one to four of the senses beyond sight).
