Room 303 Network

If you are in British Lit. and Comp., you should head over to the wiki to find some great resources that will help you understand this period. I will eventually be posting some resources to help you on the unit test. You can find the main page for Brit. Lit. here.

American Lit. and Hero classes, you have not been forsaken. The wiki is growing, and you should feel free to follow the links and locate your sections. I am working on it, but there are already a few resources there.

The second announcement pertains to reading. Yes, for fun. I don’t know how many of you noticed, but we have a group here on the network for reading. I had a blast with my summer reading group, and I heard great things about the other groups. It was fun to discuss books we ordinarily don’t get to read for school. I am always on the lookout for new book recommendations. If you are, too, you might consider joining the book group and contributing reviews to our new book blog. I just posted my review of Suzanne Collins’s book The Hunger Games. If you want to share a book review, all you need to do is register for the blog.

Edline should be working. If you log in to Edline, you should now see your classes and be able to check out what your teachers have posted. I haven’t put much up yet because I was waiting for it to be fixed. I will upload PDF’s of the syllabus soon. Meanwhile, you should notice a folder called SMARTBoard Notes on the right hand sidebar on your English class page. I will be saving notes there from now on instead of here. You can also, of course, access your grades on Edline once you have accumulated some grades to post. Of course, I will use the calendar to post due dates as well.

This site will be dedicated to conversations about books, coursework, and writing and will house our portfolios.

Students in ALC CP, I mentioned today that I wanted you to listen to a radio program and respond. Please follow this link to hear the program (you can also read the transcript, but the program has some interesting audio interviews and music, etc.), and then open the Forums tab in ALC CP’s group. You’ll find space to write your responses. Please email me at dhuff@weberschool.org if you are having difficulty with the assignment at all or if anything’s not working.

If you want to download today’s notes, you can click the link below.

American Literature and Composition CP (8-19)

I have not uploaded Dorian Gray notes from BLC CP2 because we’re not quite finished discussing the first part. The notes on the literary time periods are available on the blog update for 8/17 (scroll down).

Newspaper and Hero students, please don’t forget to register here at this site so you can participate in our network.

Students in BLC CP who want to download today’s notes can find them below.

British Literature and Composition CP (8/18)

All students: please note I have added a box with assignment due dates just under the calendar on the right. Cool, right?

Hi everyone. Since you all are not yet connected to your classes in Edline, I will post notes here until Edline is available. Once Edline is available, I will post notes on Edline simply because I have a more limited amount of storage space than the school does. Click the links below to download notes from your class.

American Literature and Composition CP (8/17)

British Literature and Composition CP (8/17)

British Literature and Composition CP2 (8/17)

We did not cover all the material you see in the notes.

I’m turning in for the night. I have enjoyed reading your responses tonight! If you haven’t posted yet, I’ll be checking in the morning when I get to school. Great discussions already!

I hope everyone had a restful summer. You were given a job today in class: register for this site. Some of you were given additional assignments. You can find out more about those assignments by going to groups and selecting your class (BLC CP, BLC CP2, ALC CP, etc.). Please join the group that pertains to your class. You will find instructions on the Home screen for your group, where the assignment due date is also posted.
