Block day

Today we continued to discuss the introduction concepts/Vocabulary.

Friday I will collect the workbook pages (as you get to class you can tear out, staple and turn in).

Friday we will discuss the balance projects you made as well as chapter 1.

In the future, you will read text chapters BEFORE I present so you are better prepared to ask questions/know what you may want to write down. I discuss concepts from our text as well as concepts covered by the other APAH texts that supplements the reading.

Day Two...

Today we started discussing key Art Historical terms. We'll continue tomorrow and start to cover chapters 1-3.

Today I modeled how to sign up on the turnitin.com website. That is homework for tonight...along with signing up for a gmail account. The email you list on turnitin.com must be an email you check regularly!!!

Obtain your workbook if you have not already. For Friday read the introduction and complete chapter 1. The discussion q's for chapter one can be typed as bullets or short answers. They need not be paragraphs this time.

Upcoming Due Dates:
Read Chapters 1 and 2 of your text. (We will always read BEFORE class discussion ... ask questions during discussion/lecture if something comes up during your reading). Complete workbook pages: (Charts) 9, 18-20. Due Wednesday September 1st

The blog will be our first line of communication outside the classroom. Here I will post pertinent information...for example homework assignments on the first day of school.
