SLC Prep and Project Work Time

SLC Freewrite
What do you most need to improve to succeed in Humanities?  Choose ONE thing from either the academic skill list or the behavior list that we brainstormed yesterday.

  • Why is this skill or behavior hard for you?
  • Why haven't you improved at this?  What's holding you back?
  • Why is it important to master this skill or behavior (think BEYOND just your grade!)?

Read the list of 21st Century Skills and definitions.  Choose the one that you think would best help you to improve your skill or behavior in Humanities.

Now write a SMART goal that will help you to improve your skill or behavior.  See the handout linked above for guidance on what needs to be included

Finish SLC notecards, and show Lori!

Work Time
Keep working on your Op-Eds and political cartoons.  See below for important information you'll need to finalize your cartoons!

OP-ED FINAL FORMATTING:
  • Margins:  1"
  • Font:  12 point Times New Roman
  • Title:  20 point, bold, Times New Roman, centered
  • Name:  Upper right corner, above the title
  • Spacing:  Single-spaced (not 1.15!)
  • Paragraphs:  No indent at the start of the paragraph, space between paragraphs
  • In-Text Citations:  Correctly cited using parenthetical citations (see examples on board)
  • Works Cited:
    • Follows same font and spacing guidelines above
    • At bottom of paper
    • Contains full and correct MLA style citations
    • All websites include full url
    • In alphabetical order by author's last name.  If there is no author, use the title

HOMEWORK:  Up to you.  If you think an hour in class tomorrow is enough to finalize your cartoon and op-ed, no homework!  If you don't think that will be enough, work on them!
