English 10-Period 6 Assignments

Hello all,

This is the last assignment of the year. The document has two parts, 5A and 5B. 5A is a the smaller assignment but requires you to think about the meaning of life. 5B asks you to put everything together in a My Personal Creed Statement. This part is planning and then writing a personal creed statement. This will take some time, so make sure to get started soon.

I have included examples of introductory paragraphs for you. Each of the paragraphs on this example page the same thesis but uses a different style of hook or connection to the reader. They are clearly not for this prompt. They are just to give you some common style ideas for intro paragraphs.

I look forward to hearing more about what you stand for because you are awesome!

Sorry the first one didn't have the attachments. There will be one more after this one to finish this project.

Visit the Black Panther virtual exhibit from the Oakland Museum. Watch some of the videos and explore the exhibit. Unfortunately, the Resources page has a lot of broken links, but the reading list is still there, if you are interested. I am contacting the Museum to see if they can restore the links.
Consider the values that the Black Panthers declared for themselves. Consider what the Black Panthers did to support their values. Consider how the Black Panthers were portrayed by the press. Remember people are complicated and think about the story from multiple viewpoints.

Double steps, double points, and double time to complete.

Hi everyone,
I need to know who wants to attend the virtual field trip to the Contemporary Jewish Museum on Friday. Since this would be with real people leading the trip, it important to be respectful. If you decide you want to go, it is a commitment on your part. If there is interest, I will work through the some technical difficulties I am having. If not, then I'll just cancel.
I need your answer by Wednesday at noon.

In this step, you will start to name the values that your influences have shared with you.

Once you have your Step 2A document returned to you. Please complete this reflection and turn in. If you have questions, please put them in the class comments so I will see them.

Today your assignment is to complete Etymology 13, turn it in, and plan to take the quiz on Friday, May 8.

You will need to complete the worksheet using the slideshow included here
and the Online etymology dictionary https://www.etymonline.com/ . This worksheet is how you will study.

I miss you all. I wish we could be at school together.

Be well,
Ms. Spiers

For this assignment , you are reviewing and analyzing what you have already done. You will then make some choices and add to your writing. Let me know if you get stuck or need help.

Take a moment to reread your previous entries before you start this assignment. You have had a lot of different influences on your life. This entry is more about the inside you and how your uniqueness has affected your life. You are unique. What qualities do you possess or have? The format is similar to previous entries, but instead of outside influences, you are writing about your own way of being.

This is the last reflection on outside influences. We all have people in our lives that affect how we see the world. Who are they for you?

This is continuing your thinking about what has made you who you are. Again, this assignment is similar to 1A , but not exactly the same. Please read the instructions and turn the assignment in here. The focus is on things you have done, things that have happened to you, and activities you participate in. Open the document in a new tab to type right on it.

You have until the end of the day Thursday. Retakes are okay.

This assignment is similar to 1A , but not exactly the same. Please read the instructions and turn the assignment in here. The focus is on what other people see and think about you. Open the document in a new tab to type right on it.

The project is divided into 6 main steps. Step 1 has several parts: 1A, 1B, 1C,etc. Each of these parts has a similar process, but the focus is different in each one: Background Circumstances;Societal Definitions and Roles;Experiences, Events, Activities; Influential and Inspirational People;My Qualities and Traits; My Questions; and Things I Know Are True. I'm giving you these topics now, not because I want you to run ahead and tackle every one today. I want you to know how to focus on each topic separately with the assurance that there is space for everything you want to include. I hope you enjoy doing these reflections. They are thought gathering brain-storms, so try your best, but don't get hung up on details yet. Get your thinking on the document.

The project overview and my letter are here. The assignments will each have their own post. They will begin with "My Personal Creed" and a numbered step. That way you will know when each assignment is due and whether you have completed it or not. After you have READ the material here, you can "turn in" this assignment. You do not have to do anything with the document.

Hello Young People!
Welcome back from spring break! I hope you got a chance to relax. I spent a lot of time using up old paint to repaint our study/den at home. Zoom chats made me decide it had to be done before resuming school.
We are beginning the next phase of our distance learning. Be sure to check Google classroom daily for assignments. I am putting all of our old assignments under the Archive category to make it easier to find what you need to do.

Sentences, remember.

Use the template resume and create a resume for yourself. Write about yourself in a positive light, remember though, you must be truthful on your resume. If you work, for family or other employer, include start and end dates and the types of duties you had to perform. Include activities and responsibilities that you have successfully completed while in high school. Awards, honor roll, clubs, sports, officer position in clubs, big academic projects or presentations can all be included. Additionally, jobs or responsibilities you have in your community and family might be of interest to an employer. For example, if you babysit or are responsible for childcare for your family or a neighbor an employer might think you are trustworthy and responsible. Speaking languages besides English are talents you should include. Are you in a band, dance lessons or performance? Do you paint or draw comics? Do you volunteer at your church or temple? Anything that shows you put in more than the minimum looks good on a resume. For your objective, use one of the job listings as the focus.

Choose the quote that speaks to you. Paraphrase it. Interpret it. Explain why it is interesting to you.
At least 3 sentences.
