I've made a form that should make it easier for you to understand the expectations and your grades for your upcoming assignments. Please see the written works and oral presentations points breakdown and the assessment sheet I will fill out for you for most assignments.

Here is the breakdown of points you can receive for unit two. It's also on the Semester One Page under Unit Two.

I've gotten a few emails from students who are worried about the assignments you have and when they are do. For Unit Two, I have adjusted the deadlines to each specific sub-group. Please pay attention to ONLY your sub-group. Students in 44.1, for example have fewer lessons and thus fewer assignments. Also note that fewer assignments are due via email and more are due in class. 
Here is the document with the due dates. Enjoy. 

Here is a list of the eight assignments you will complete for unit two. Good luck. 

You will do two oral presentations for unit two. Check out the grading criteria here. 

Hey guys. So when many of you submitted assignments for unit one, you did not put anything on the subject line. This was a problem, because when some students had questions about assignments, grades, etc. their e-mails got stacked in the inbox with all of the assignments I had to grade. I have decided to implement strict formatting rules for all assignments you will turn in for unit two and any assignments for semester two. Please look at the attachment to see how I would like your papers to be formatted. 

Thanks. 

Did you guys know that there are dictionaries to help the American and British people understand each other? I've been browsing through Google this evening and have found some awesome websites that compare the two languages. I spell color, color. British people spell color, colour. I've known this for a while, but it's still funny to think about. I studied abroad in England for five months while I was a student. When I was there, I was so nervous about making silly spelling errors because I was an American. It wasn't a problem though. My British professor was very kind. 

I hope you all have a great day. :)

Hey guys! I have heard from several of you that you would like help finding articles in English about technology in the classroom. You can find these through google and the news tab, but I will include a couple examples here.

Those are a few examples. If you can find your own, that is even better. Thanks. Sharece

Hey guys! I finally finished grading every assignment you have turned into me. I will not accept any other assignments via e-mail except for assignment 13 which is due tomorrow at 9 PM. Many of you have not turned in your assignments and your grades will reflect that. 

See you soon.

Hello delightful students! 

It's been a crazy week. I've caught a cold and I'm trying to fight it off but it seems to be a losing battle. I'm grading your final assignments today and tomorrow. Remember that your last home assignment is due tomorrow, Monday the 3rd, by 9 PM. 

I will be looking at the assignment load I prepared for unit two and I may adjust some of the assignments. This might be good for all of us. :) 

I hope you are enjoying your weekend and that you are remaining healthy. Don't let yourselves get sick like I did. It is not fun. 

See you soon.
