1. Name Cards
  • I will give everyone an index card.

  • Leave the back side blank. 
  • You will need the blank side throughout the quarter.
2. Goal Setting 
  • On the back side of your notecard, write one personal goal and one academic goal you have for yourself this quarter.
    • One personal goal I have is…
    • One academic goal I have is…
  • Do not take up the whole space. We will still need some blank space through the quarter. 
  • I will be asking you to introduce yourself and share a goal with the class. 
3. Binders 
  • Your binder will be yours for the next 10 weeks.
  • Your binders will be where you store your readings and writing assignments.
  • Today you will choose a color for the front of your binder and write your name largely on the front. 
4. Expectations 
  • We will set our expectations for the next 10 weeks together in tables. 
  • After setting expectations in our table groups, we will share with the class to show what we have in common. 
5. Tech Set Up 
  • Technology will play a big part in this class.
  • This blog is going to be important throughout the quarter so I want to get you all set up today.

  • Bookmark Google Classroom:
  • Join Google Classroom with the join codes I have posted in class 
    • Find the English Journal I have already placed in Google Classroom and complete your first brief writing assignment. 
6. About You Form
7. Exit Slips 
  • I'm going to pass out a post it note to each person. 
  • I'm asking you to write one question you have about this class and place it on the check in board next to the laptop cart.
    • Green means you feel good about English class
    • Yellow means you're feeling somewhat positive, somewhat uneasy about English class
    • Red means you have lots of questions about English class
