Hi class, welcome back. My son contracted a virus during our Memorial Day trip, and so I'm home today taking care of him. I'm sorry I missed this class. Please read the following agenda items so that we can have a productive day still.
1. I have your Freire quizzes graded. Please email me if you want the grade. Generally, people did very well. I'm going to knock off the Freire quote(s) on the Final Exam; the final exam will now be three and not five quotes (Kozol, Hayward, Gabrenya: "Psychology of Social Class"). Congrats. The exam will still be worth 100 points, but each of these texts, and parts, will be worth roughly 33 points each. I'm confident you understand Freire.
2. If you haven't received your grade for the Letter to Bert assignment and you want it, please email me the letter as an attachment so I can send you the grading grid.
3. The most important thing you can do today is give each other feedback on your Case Study. Please work in partnered pairs to examine your draft. Save the one comment sheet you collect from your partner so you can attach it to your final draft.
On this note, please see the sample Case Studies posted to this blog for examples. Please also note the Grading Grid.
4. After exchanging feedback about your Case Study with your partner, please identify the part of your Case Study you plan to relate on Monday for our Podcast to your partner. For the podcast, you will need to speak for three minutes about your pedagogical philosophy, your preferred tutoring strategies, and be able to give specific examples about those strategies based on your tutoring experiences.
5. After you have given feedback on the Case Study, you are free to go. On Monday we will discuss the "Psychology of Social Class" reading.
6. I am extending the "absolute" revision deadline from Monday, June 1 to Monday June 8. All revisions of all assignments must be sent to me by this date at 5pm. I can offer no exceptions beyond this.
7. If you are at all concerned about your grade, you must email me by 5pm on Monday, June 8th with the following information: a polite inquiry about your grade, and all the grades you're received on all assignments up to this point (including the total number of your quiz points). I want you to literally go through the "grades" from the syllabus and place a number next to all assignments that you've received a grade on. This will help me determine if we have accurate and consistent records. I will talk more about this on Monday. If I don't hear from you by/on Monday June 8th, I will assume you are comfortable with the grades you've received, or will receive, in this course.
