Quarter Assessment Instructions

Hello!

This Friday, January 10, we will begin our 2nd Quarter Assessment.  For Debate I, students are to create a persuasive speech.  Before we left for Christmas break, students filled out preparation outlines.  Now, we are making these more formal by typing out the information, adding at least 3 in text citations, and a reference page with 3 sources.

Please fill out the surveys during class to receive points for your work while in the lab.  If you do not fill out the surveys, you will receive a 0 for your workday.

Monday/Tuesday Directions for Debate

Please write the objective on your calendar: Students will evaluate past performances, and students will prepare for their next debate.

Debate students should watch any videos and complete all reflections that are unfinished on their portfolios.  (I receive statistics on each video; so watch them all the way through, because I will know if you do not.) For every video of yours, there should be a reflection.  So those of you who have debated in class could have up to five reflections: introductory speech, constructive speech, CX asking questions, CX answering questions, and rebuttal speech.  

• One reflection consists of 3-4 sentences about your performance.  You should evaluate your content, delivery, and any aspect you are judged on according to the ballots.  Both constructive and positive comments are encouraged.

After they have accomplished this, they should begin working on their Heritage tournament piece(s) or their next in class debate.

Parent/Teacher Conference Schedule

Hello parents and guardians!

Since I split my time between RHS and HHS, I also have to split my time at Parent/Teacher Conferences.  I'll be at Heritage on Monday, October 28, from 4:00 - 7:00 pm.  On Wednesday, October 30, I'll be at Rogers High from 3:45 - 6:45 pm.

Of course, if you cannot come and see me on the times above, shoot me an email, and we can schedule a time that is convenient for us both.

Thanks for your understanding!
