All Classes: Higher Purpose of Doodling
Interested to hear what folks might think about this video.
How might you experiment with this sort of thinking?
How might you take your own doodles to the next level of being purposeful?

AP Lit: "Eveline" & Hamlet & Prepping for Poetry Installation
We'll start with our MUGS Apostrophe 1 Quiz and from there . . .
We have to get our pieces for the poetry installation identified and on the black cart. We can also talk further and share further about our pieces at this point. If you are having a piece installed, be certain to complete a curator's sign. The template is in your Drive.
Then we explore Joyce's "Eveline" via our Literary 3x3 strategy. We will do an activity where we illuminate the evidence that led to our 3x3s. It will involve big thinking. And design kits.
Then more from Hamlet.

Humanities: Continued w Extreme by Design
Today we started with Roots 8 Quiz.
Then we watched the rest of Extreme by Design.
This was followed by an explanation of the Habits of Mind assessment due next Thursday:
Using your Google Drive, create folders to collect evidence of your strengths and weakness for each of the 16 habits of mind.
What evidence might you include?
Screenshots of blog posts, calendars, tweets, FB statuses, etc.
Photos and art
Interviews with friends and family and neighbors
Video footage
Scripts and dialogues
Written explanations
Look in the Humanities OUT folder for an example of how to organize it and what sorts of evidence to collect.

AP Lit 3G: A Bit of a Wonky Day of Lots of Ends of Things
Today started with our MUGS Apostrophes Quiz 1 on NoRedInk.com
Then we made sure our projects were ready to go for the installation. Everyone who wants their pieces on display should put them on the black cart and complete the curator's note document on the Google Drive. There's no obligation -- I just think these are all well worth sharing.
I'll be installing between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Monday if you would like to come along and help.
After that we dug into Joyce's "Eveline," using the Literary 3x3 strategy to further illuminate the short story. We marked up the text of the story while looking at the 3x3s, identifying the evidence that brought us to our conclusions.

We did not get to Hamlet today -- disappointing. Must rectify after our test prep on Monday.
Tuesday, during class, practice test. Does not count in the gradebook. Being assessed only for baseline & feedback data. One multiple choice item (reading and 7 or 8 questions) and one writing prompt (reading and responding) in 45 minutes.
