Blog #10: Jan. 10-16

Hi Gentlemen,

I know you’ve had much going recently with the holidays and celebrations.  I, too, have been very busy trying to expand our program to other students such as yourselves.  It has  been such a pleasure to work with you that I want to ensure that other students and teachers throughout the world have the same opportunity:

Updates as always:

English I:

You should have completed Module 5 and begin your work on Module 6.  You have until January 30 to complete all the lessons of Module 6.

Also, your next project is to complete a video diary of your life.  I was going to send you an example last week to assist you with the rubric but my computer crashed and I am having to update all my files.  I will get that to you as soon as I can.  In the meantime, I have pushed back the deadline/due date for the assignment from Jan 30 to FEBRUARY 6th to give you an extra week to complete it.  This assignment should be very fun for you…More to come soon, I promise!

American History:

You should be completing all the lessons and assessments in Module 4 but many of you are very behind.  Just please keep the assessments coming to me and I will try to read, evaluate, and offer feedback as soon as I can…

…Also, don’t forget to schedule your Module 2 Discussion based Assessment with me (oral exam) ASAP on all of the content of that module.

SURVEY:

Also, I am asking that you take a brief moment to complete a survey about your experience with Somerset Academy International.  If you do so within the next week, i will give you five points of extra credit to whatever course (American History or English) of your choosing!  To complete the survey, please click on the link below…

In the meantime, and as always, you guys are the best.  Skype or email with any questions!
