HN English 10 - Research Notecards DUE

All research notecards are due tomorrow for a quiz grade: 5 (min) sourcecards and 40 (min) notecards, all following the format we went over in class. 

Chapter 10 of All Quiet on the Western Front, as per your reading schedule, is due on Wednesday. 

We picked up Night books from the library today, so you may begin that whenever you like, but it is due next Wednesday, the day after your All Quiet test. 

HN English 10 - All Quiet 4-5 & First Sourcecard

As per the reading schedule, you should have Chapters 4 and 5 read by Monday.  Expect a reading check. 

You should also complete your first green soucecard (as discussed in class).  It needs to be reliable (based on the parameters discussed in class) and an article-style source.  I will collect them on Monday. 

English 9 - Research

All students need to catch up on their research.  As of Friday, 3 sourcecards and 18 notecards taken from those sourcecards were due.  If you have done 0 or fewer than the required number, be advised: you're setting yourself up for failure.  All 5 sourcecards and 35 notecards (minimum) will be due on Wednesday, May 16 and you have put yourself massively behind.  The research project will be handed out next week and without your research, you are also setting yourself up for a 0 on a project.  Not a good idea if you intend on passing this course...

Extra credit projects are also due on Wednesday.

Odyssey Voc 3 and R&J Voc 1 retakes are due by next Friday, May 18. 

English 9 - Research Deadline #2

Posted on the board and discussed in class since last week, your second deadline for your research notecards is due tomorrow.  You should have 2 sourcecards (following the format we discussed in class) and at minimum 12 notecards that take notes from those sources.  Your eventual goal will be to have 5 sources and 35 notecards, so going over the limit for the periodic due dates is not a bad thing. 

Vocabulary notecards are also due tomorrow, so notecards all around! 

We discussed ways to save articles as PDFs for students without internet access at home, so that is not an excuse I am willing to accept. 

English 9 - Beginning Research

Due at the beginning of class tomorrow is the start of your research:  You should have one complete source card and at least five cards of subtopic-grouped notes on that source.

Remember that for items not found on the sourcecard, you need to actually write "not found."

Your topic is the one you selected that is related to your independent reading memoir/biography/autobiography.  If you have not yet selected a topic, well, do so and then do research on it.

English 9 - The Odyssey Loyal/Disloyal List

Today we started preliminary research for the upcoming research projects.  You should have found your first source and begun taking notes according to the way we discussed in class (sourcecard and then notes divided by subtopic within an article).  We have discussed reliable sources in class, so make sure you're following those guidelines.

For homework tonight, those of you who did not complete the Loyal/Disloyal Chart in class today (including descriptions and L or D), should do so. 

Tomorrow is also Wednesday-- vocabulary notecards.
