Yesterday I had you completing an assignment on how to/when to paraphrase, summarize, and quote. I only got assignments from a few people. I know that some of you were at the student voice conference but I also got a note from our supply teacher saying that some of you were distracted and talking to each other.
I realize that it’s possible that you weren’t aware that I wanted it submitted before the end of the period, but that’s not an excuse to waste time. This was an assignment that required some thought but you had more than enough time to complete this assignment and do work on your essays.
We have a lab period today for you to work on your essays and I had planned on giving you more in class time but right now I’m planning on cancelling any future work periods for this unless I see a dramatic change today.
The paraphrase, summary, quote assignment needs to be submitted today. Please use your time wisely and remember to consult the assessment criteria as you work on your essay.
