CORRECTION for SAT Start Time on Wednesday:
Precisely for the reason given in this message below from the counselors' office, I was misinformed (no, actually just UNinformed) about the correct SAT start time. It's 7:30 a.m.
Seniors taking the SAT will receive personal directions today or tomorrow. They must be in the 2300 hallway, ready to check into their assigned room by 7:30am SHARP. Only 83 seniors of 460 are taking the test, so I’m not widely broadcasting instructions, but rather pulling seniors out to inform them.
Further information you need to know: The Common App system is having major issues.
No need to detail everything people have experienced, but it's been enough to cause an entire article in the New York Times:Online Application Woes (Common App)
The College and Career Center recommends several things that I'll list out soon, but chief among them is SUBMIT EARLY. Also, "like" the Common App Facebook page so that you will get updated information regarding on-going changes in procedures, directions, and deadlines.
TODAY IN CLASS
All sections back in sync (for probably two days).
We finished Ch. 5--all two pages' worth.
Students worked on Ch. 6 and 7 reading guide questions (new hand-out). These are to be done note-taking style in your own notebook. We will actually "go over" some, but not all; the rest are to promote your own understanding so that you'll be able to discuss higher-level discussion questions on this work.
HOMEWORK
Continue with the study guide, getting through Chapter 10 (remember, these are all pretty short) for Tuesday.
If you were absent, here's the link: Beowulf Ch 5-14 hand-out
