Good afternoon my fellow broncos, and I hope you are all enjoying the drops of acid falling from the heavens as the sun sets!
As always, I hope you are all surviving this week in the most graceful fashion, and now to help prepare for your side-step swagger, here is a list of reminders to keep in mind:
HOMEWORK
- Ortega: do a Goodreads assignment if you wish to recieve an AE for your SSR grades (treat it as necessary extra credit)!
- Piggott: none...test coming up soon though (hence, all the recent practice and review)
- Rivas: none
- Holt: Google Andy Weir/Adam Savage Interview (homework from last week (many moons ago)) and read about the subject material we are currently engrossed in in your physics textbooks...

- about 55 minutes long...
- Senior Project: Blog #8 (a write-up on what you are planning to complete for your independent component 1); the blog is due this Thursday by 8 AM
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS (first rotation)
- Ortega: To sound the beginning of the week, Ortega had us first answer the first question of each of 5 sections on a 'Peer Review for Rhetorical Writing' sheet of paper that will guide us in peer-reviewing each other's college application prompt-driven essays. After reflecting on the purpose, audience, situation, persona, and message of our pieces of typed writing, we were left with loosely outlined amounts of time for SSR reading (following the law of common sense in which "the earlier you finished scribbling left you with more minutes with which to enter your book-bound world"). After carrying out the usual quick SSR check-in, Ortega handed out notecards that we then used to identify three goals we each had ten-minutes to establish in regards to reading, writing, and speaking in English class this year (whether it be to relate to culturally foreign books or to be able to expertly draw up a compromise-proof argument). After, we met with partners and the person whose birthday was coming up sooner read out his/her essay to the neighbor's judging - hopefully out of joyful awe - eyes. Then came the invisible bell.
- Piggott: We reviewed the worksheet Piggott gave us drilling our forgetful minds on the behavior of complex numbers and their imaginary counterparts. In this way, it seems that a test on the material looms before us in the next couple of weeks - keep alert and don't fall behind as far as remembering is concerned. After this refreshment, we played the deceptive game "Bluff", competing as two teams to see which would rise on top and be crowned with five points extra credit redeemable on the next test - there, it has indeed been mentioned.
- Holt: After turning in our Hab blueprints right after walking in, we analyzed Holt's teaching methodology, voicing our concerns with how effective it has been in being able to teach the wonderful, but complex, world of PHYSICS! Negotiating a plan through how we would clear a path for a smooth road in learning, we - teacher and students - finished up our 'explorations' into fuel cells and how they worked when standing alone with only pennies and foil for company.
- Senior Project: 3 more research checks due this Friday...the ones posted in our working bibliographies from last Friday!
Some ASB Announcements...
--> We shall be heading out to a movie theatre this Friday after school to watch "The Martian"...refer to your emails for more details!
--> Club fair is tomorrow during lunch...come on by to see which club iPoly has to fill up spare time with!
