Thursday, 8/27/09 - Welcome!
Seating Chart, etc.
Copy homework into assignment book. If you don't yet have an assignment book, use a sheet of paper in your binder or notebook. Be sure to copy the assignments again into your assignment book when you get one. This is what we do on the first day of every week. The homework for the entire week (and sometimes beyond) will be on the board the first day of each week, and the first thing we do is copy it into our assignment books. Get a notebook by MONDAY!

CLICKERS! Practice. COPY AND CLICK!
The warm up will, after today, almost always be the first thing we do everyday.
--You grab your clicker as you come in the door.
--You open your notebook, and write the title ("Warm Up") and date.
--You await further instructions.
--If the instructions say to copy, you copy into your notebook. You'll get enough time to do that, but warm ups are timed.

Motto by Langston Hughes 

     I play it cool 
     and dig all jive. 
     That's the reason 
     I stay alive. 
     My motto, 
     As I live and learn, 
     is: 
     Dig and Be Dug 
     In Return. 
 

Cool?  Dig?  Jive? 
Pick one and try to explain what it means in this context.

Audio Feature: The concept of "digging."

Short Explanation Paper assignment due Tuesday.
