Remember...
Remember, you are the most connected human generation ever.
Call a classmate. They can inform you and even send photos of assignments to you.
Seven easy digits: HW Bah? Much of the literature we study is online.
A title and an author's name will get you far. Use the phrase "full text" in your search,
for example: "Conrad Secret Sharer full text." When I was in high school,
if I didn't have an assignment or a book, I often had to go somewhere.
When Corona Virus 19 is gone, these are some things you can look forward to doing:
Visit a classmate, the library, a bookstore (while we still have them).
Until then, you can access the library and friends electronically.
Figure out how to use the technology to best solve the problem you are having.
You can tell me how you solved the problem of not knowing what the homework was.
But even "good reasons" for not doing your homework usually carry a component of
"leaving it until the last minute," so don't spend too much time preparing excuses unless you
had a multiple day, actual disaster, or family upheaval.
Be there, aloha.
Welcome.
Materials
You are in a college level, honors, AP course. Bring your stuff:
- Your book, handouts, etc.
- Lined, college rule, loose leaf paper (not the kind that has the reinforced edge) in a--
- Binder
- Blue or Back Ink (I recommend erasable ink). Have several pens appropriate for class.
- Pencil for scantron tests and notes (Please do not write essays in pencil.)
- Highlighters, two colors
- Post-its. You will need to use the post-its to make annotations in your texts. Have plenty. Sometimes I check your reading by checking your annotations.
I know I have probably left something off the list, but this is a start. And if you want to be a good citizen, bring two boxes of tissues for us to share.
