Low Grade due to Missing or Un-submitted Padlet Link: Seniors

 If you had a glitch with padlet, didn't make your link public, or simply didn't think I would actually read all of the Dialectical Journals, it can sting to find out that I did. Because this major assignment was assigned near the end of the semester, if you had low scores you had very little padding to assist you. To assist you demonstrate all that you can about your text, if the only thing that failed you was padlet, I will allow you to submit your dialectical journals.  They must be original (yes, I am using Chat GPT and other AI sources to check for plagiarism); and you must have all of them.  You will upload using a new Google Link that I will create by. Monday, December 18th.  Scoring well should be enough to raise a grade of "D" to a "C".  and "C" to "B"  This option IS NOT AVAILABLE TO RAISE GRADE FROM B TO A. Try next semester! Here is the link: Google Form Upload for Late or UnFinished Dialectial Journals

1. Recently, the Los Angeles Unified School Board voted to change the LAUSD School Calendar. The most important difference is the potential loss of one week of Winter Break. This reduction of Winter Recess from three weeks to two weeks is the most impactful change. Students WOULD get out of school a week earlier, but many students are upset with the proposed change.  Write a respond in which you argue for OR against the new calendar. 

2.  Do you think that streaming television shows on Netflix, Paramount, Hulu etc should release all or several episodes at once, allowing watchers to "binge" OR do you think each episode should be released once a week? Discuss the pros and cons of releasing several episodes at once or one episode per week. 

April is National Poetry Month

 In honor of April, National Poetry Month---today and at least twice weekly, we will read and examine and explore poetry. Today is day one. On day one, YOU will have the chance to browse various sources to: find AT LEAST one poem that you like. Why will you like it: maybe because of its rhyme; or its imagery; or its use of language like vernacular; or its subject matter; or its universal theme. Maybe it sounds like magic. Maybe you can write a poem like it.  So, where to look, where to go? I have hyperlinked several places for you to browse for poems. I also have several poetry anthologies including Phototry by Hiram Sims; Death by comb by Camari Carter; and others. Select a poem from here, or from the hyperlinked list. Carefully read the poem, and then complete a SOAPS analysis. You will also record yourself reading the poem on Flipgrid and lastly, you will share with a partner.
