Fast Food Nation Lesson

Plan on presenting your lesson based on a chapter from Fast Food Nation, by Eric Schlosser. It should be about 10 minutes in length and should include some type of check for understanding, such as a quiz.

I'm looking forward to seeing these.

Changing Schedules

I really hope you are all finished changing your schedules. Didn't you all meet with your counselor last year? Mr. Grijalva is a saint; I'd never be able to do what he does.

We will be working with the Expo Comp book all week, so be sure you have it with you. We won't be using the Writer's Choice books just yet; I will keep them in the classroom for the time being. That is, unless you piss me off, then I will issue them to you and you can add them to your heavy burden.

You should also be thinking about topics for your Senior Project.

Requirements for Assignments

All major assignments are to be typed and saved on a flash or hard-drive. You must be able to reproduce your work in case your essay is lost or misplaced. All work is to be turned in at the beginning of the class in which it is due. Do not wait until the night before to begin printing out any major assignment. Unexcused late work will lose points on a daily basis until it is submitted, and cannot be turned in after a unit is completed. We will be taking notes daily, both in class and on outside assignments.
