wishing all of you a great and safe weekend!!!!!
I also wanted to tell all of you that this semester is the FIRST fall semester EVER that I have talked SO much about time management and have suggested ways to make my freshmen students' first semester sane and successful.
Ironically, it is also the first semester that I have had SO many freshmen get behind so quickly by the end of only the 4th week!!!!
Needless to say, I am a bit concerned and puzzled. (of course, not ALL students are behind, but a remarkable number of you ARE.)
I am honestly fairly astounded at how many students STILL do not keep up with reading the blog as well as keep up with assignments.
Far too many students have not even started reading One Amazing Thing and several have not even viewed the film Daughter from Danang yet!!! Obviously, English 1A is not your only course, but at the very least, you should be keeping up with assignments. It is not too late to "get it together."
- Read ahead in your syllabus.
- Manage your time wisely.
- Come prepared to class.
- Stay current with the class blog.
- Listen and pay attention during class.
I would not post this "wake up call" unless I thought it was VERY serious and significant.
The semester will begin to move very quickly now. You CAN do this! :)
