Setup CNotes-Expectations.
EQ: Why is it important to listen in class, complete
assignments as directed and stay organized?
Topic: Expectations
1)Listening Notes-take notes on all directions I give today
and new information shared about the class.
2)Review Protagonist and all prefixes. Study M&M 17-22
(word lists distributed). Expectation 70% or higher. Turn in words.
3)Changes/Problems
A)You aren’t meeting 11th grade expectations or
standards. The real world isn’t easy like you apparently want me to make this
class.
B)I need you to step it up. How would you feel if someone
called you ignorant or uneducated? You see no value in learning. You don’t
listen, you copy, you want answers given to you. You don’t like to think for
yourself or see the value. You want the easy way out. It’s not beneficial to you.
C)
As many as two in five recent high school graduates say that there are
gaps between the education they received in high school and the overall skills,
abilities, and work habits that are expected of them today in college and in the
work force
D)College
instructors and employers confirm graduates’ assessments in even harsher terms,
as they estimate that similar numbers of graduates are inadequately prepared to
meet their expectations. College instructors are especially critical and are
unsatisfied with the job that high schools are doing in preparing students in
writing and mathematics. Instructors report that they spend a significant
amount of time teaching material that they feel should have been learned in
high school.
E)
Yet, fewer than one-quarter of high school graduates feel that they were significantly
challenged and faced high expectations in order to graduate from high
school.Those graduates who did face high expectations are much more likely to
feel adequately prepared for college or the work force.
F)
An even larger proportion (46%) say that there are gaps in preparation for the
skills and
abilities that they believe they would need for the jobs they hope to get in
the future. Among those high school graduates who are not in college and not
currently employed, nearly half (49%) say that they have gaps in preparation
for the skills and abilities necessary for the types of job that they hope to
get.
G)Rules
and procedures are being ignored as if they if they didn’t exist. Any student violating a
rule will be randomly tested on Classroom rules and procedures for 80% of
grade, this could be as simple as talking during M&M, eating in class or
talking when I’m teaching.
H)Cnotes
will immediately be graded after you are supposed to take them. The importance
is they give you information needed for exit slips and major assignments.
I)Some
of you are disorganized, cannot find things when I ask you to take them out,
don’t turn things in, you are absent too much or tardy a lot, then you expect me
to fill in the gaps or perform miracles. But its not my job to be the student
and the teacher.
J)Exit
slips will now be randomly checked verbally by name draw. I’m starting with
exit 4 and 5 the compare/contrast essay
K)Exit
slips 80%-if you listen I go over the answers many times-but you have to listen
to what I say. I don’t just state it exactly as in exit slip. For example for
exit 5, last question.
L)You
aren’t reading questions carefully or you are ignoring things you shouldn't- for ex in Exit 5: a
set of reading entries, in detail
M)From
now on an exit slip won’t be accepted without the number of points for each
question and a title of the exit
N)You
should be keeping up with your portfolio and all assignments with # go inside
in order and on your TOC. We will review this the next class.
4)11th
Grade Diagnostic-Answer on answer sheet (will go in data folder-folders are to
remain in class, info is not to be removed from them) No talking
5)Work
on reading after Diagnostic. If not done with paper, expect me to ask why and
ask you exit 3 and 4 questions. R5-6 Due next class-80%. You will have some time to
work on it. If you need help 3 fingers. You must turn that paper in. It isn’t
an option. You are here to graduate not fail. Papers returned/Grades.
6)Turn
in Cnotes from today
