Plan for Wednesday, May 29

Dear Seniors,*

Sorry to be unexpectedly out today, but I trust that you will use the time to get your work done.  There isn't much time left!

Here's the scoop:
1) Blue 2 -- You have 2 classes left, including today, and then your exam.
2) Blue 3 -- You have 3 classes left, including today, and then your exam.

Assignments to complete include:
(1) Finish independent reading book, 5 online journal posts, and 3 peer posts.
(2) Complete responses to all 5 prompts on the Future Board of the forum (Long Bets, Future Bets, Technology, Government, and Work).
(3) Complete future project and get ready to present it.
(4) Complete critique of future project.  An online copy of the critique guidelines is here.  The basic rule of the critique is that if something in the guidelines is not fully explained in the project, it should be fully explained in your critique.  Each student (not each group) should plan to submit a critique of 1 - 2 typed double-spaced pages.  (The only exception to this is if you are already doing a writing-based project such as an essay or short story with a length of more than 2 pages per person).  In this case, you will still have a critique, but it might be briefer.

Have a good day.  I look forward to your projects and your visions of the future.


*It won't be long and no one will call you a "senior" anymore.  Enjoy it while you can!
