"Traditionally, Labor Day is celebrated by most Americans as the symbolic end of the summer. The holiday is often regarded as a day of rest and parades ... Forms of celebration include picnics, barbecues, fireworks displays, water sports, and public art events." (from the Wikipedia entry for Labor Day, found here)
I think we definitely deserve three days off - we've been working hard! Here's what I want you to do over the holiday (besides having fun with your friends and family).
Many of you have been "laboring" over your blogs - picking a cool template, posting photos, changing colors, making it YOURS. Good job! More importantly, you need to start adding your notes and your homework assignments. In class we'll be talking about how to copy and paste from OneNote into your blog, how to set up new posts, etc. Lots of you are already up to speed on this; some of you have work to do.
In any case, by Tuesday morning, I want EVERYONE to have set up their blog, and have at least one posting that contains notes and a homework assignment. I am checking and grading this assignment.
I also want EVERYONE to "follow" my blog, as I am going to be "following" yours.
If you have questions or problems, please see me before the weekend. We will also devote some class time to this. I want everyone to be in the habit of checking my blog and posting regularly on your blog when we come back from break.
Also, don't forget about your summer reading assignments. If you don't have a Fine Arts class, you need to email your Pixton comic and your written reponses to me, at rschick@johncarroll.org. I'll be checking them this weekend, so get them in ASAP. I can't wait to see them, especially your comics. (If you want to see MY awesome Pixton, click here. Comments and ratings welcome!)
Happy Labor Day!
