Here ya go... ![]()
On a sheet of paper, answer the following:
1. What is OneDrive? 2. How do you share a file or folder on OneDrive? 3. What are the two different permissions you can share a file with? After you complete the tasks in the PowerPoint, you will hopefully have time to sit with your group and discuss the PSA on your paper that Mr. Tucker highlighted. PSA:
•You will dividing yourselves into groups of 3. If you struggle with addition, Mr. Tucker will exercise some subtraction to your group. •Today you will be thinking of three ideas for a public service announcement. This PSA will inform people about an issue, using fear as a persuasive tool. You need to decide A) Who your target audience is, B) What the issue is, C) How fear can be used, and D) What the resolution to the issue will be. Remember, you are doing this three times. Have a unique idea for each! •Elect a team secretary and record your names at the top of a sheet of paper, along with all of the information mentioned above. You need a solid paragraph for each of the three ideas. This must result in a minimum of one page of text. Don't script out your PSA, but capture the concept fully. Be creative, but don’t be absurd. Here are a few examples of real PSAs that use fear: Today we finish reading "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" in class. Depending on the class you are in, here's the post-reading assignment on page : 1st Period: Comp Check, 2, 4, 5, & 8 3rd Period: nothing 4th Period: Comp Check and #2 Tomorrow, be prepared to identify those things you were asked to keep an eye for on Friday before we began reading the selection. (That's teacher talk for a quiz, in case you didn't catch the hint.) For homework, view the attached .ppt file to see what you're doing. ![]()

Today you are responding to the following prompts on paper: * Do you believe that, at the core, people are born “good” or that people are born “bad”? Explain your position by providing a good defense of the argument. Back up your opinion with some evidence. * Assuming no one else would ever know, do you think most people make different behavior choices when no one is watching anything they do/say? Explain why you think so… * What percentage of students at this school do you think are overall good people, regardless of whether or not someone is watching? * What percentage of teachers at this school do you think are overall good people, regardless of whether or not someone is watching? Then, as a class, we will begin reading "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" in the lit book. (I'll post later to let you know where we stopped in case you are not in class today.) ![]()
On this FRIDAY there will be an "app check" at the beginning of class. Remember that one of the conditions of the cell phone contract is that you have the OneNote app installed on your device. I will simple be asking everyone to get out his/her phone, open the app, and hold up the device so I can see the screen. If you don't have the app, you get an "X" marked against you. Three "X" marks and you lose the right to have an electronic device in my classroom for the rest of the quarter.
Class starts with a quiz over our OPP reading from yesterday. If you missed, you will need to make up by Friday--outside of class time. We watched a brief documentary video about the facts and fiction behind the Pilgrim story. Click below if you missed it. And, this is your homework assignment for tomorrow: So maybe the story of the Pilgrims and Plymouth Rock and the first Thanksgiving didn’t happen quite the way we grew up hearing. So history has been twisted a bit to better fit the stuff legends are made of. We enjoy the stories nonetheless, and they are at least rooted in historical facts…and they have become a part of our national identity. Your assignment is to select some particular aspect of BGHS--something that is a part of our school's culture, campus, identity, or history. Take a little fact about this school and spin it into a more legendary tale. Create a great legend that explains its origins. Yeah, you know me! Anyway, today we are reading William Bradford's "Of Plymouth Plantation" in class. If you are not in class today, a .pdf of the selection is attached to this post. (ALL of our lit book scans are added as we go along to the class OneDrive folder, along with lots of other class materials/resources.) After you finish reading, answer the following questions: Comp Check, 3, and 4 ![]()
