Greetings Students!
I am writing a letter to explain to you why I will not be starting school until Wednesday,9/18/2019. I recently had knee surgery and needed a six week recovery time period. I will be evaluating and grading all work that you do in my absence. It is really important that you save all of your assignments, labeled with the “Title of the Assignment” on each document to be placed in your LA 9 folders.I can access these from home and get to know you before I arrive. Please put forth your best effort. Most importantly, treat your substitute with the respect he deserves!
Your first assignment is a Google Slide Presentation. You will work on these over a one week period. Remember this is a visual project, I would like each slide about yourself labeled, but not with extensive text. This is a speaking and listening activity versus a writing assignment. I created one about me, that your substitute will show you and that can give you some ideas to work from.Please read the assignment that is attached,carefully, so you meet the required criteria.
There will be other assignments that your substitute will assign to you the second week surrounding poetry analysis and writing. Please listen and give your best effort with each assignment so I can get a baseline of where you are at with your writing. You are graded based on the progress you make with your own writing, not compared to another student’s writing. The key is to try with your best effort and we will diligently, together strive to create significant growth and improvement with your writing and analysis skills.
I am excited to meet you and we will have a great year together! It is so exciting to be part of a brand new building with so many high tech features and diversified learning centers. Have a productive and positive first 10 days and I look forward to seeing you on 9/18/2019.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Canady,NBCT
