Emotion Essay (DUE Tues 6-13)

Grab a Chromebook (which you should have by now - duh).  Take out your Emotion Essay Handout and follow the directions.  DO NOT SKIP AHEAD!!!  I have made a template for your essay writing...here.

  1. Once open, go to FILE, then MAKE A COPY.  
  2. Retitle it:  "AVID 9.2 Emotion Essay Last, First" ("AVID 9.2 Emotion Essay Romo, Eduardo").
  3. Share it with me.  
  4. Change the Name/Class Information on the Title Page.
  5. Then scroll down to the 3rd page (skip P2 Introduction, which is the LAST thing you write).
  6. Delete all of the questions you will NOT address (keep your selected question visible so your proofreader knows what you chose to answer).
  7. Then start writing!
  8. When you have finished, have a peer proofread it. 

If you have time, you are encouraged to work ahead (try to finish by Friday!).

Please make sure that you:

  • Introduce & Define the Question
  • Answer the question(s) thoroughly
  • incorporate (use) things presented in class
  • Apply your perspective/viewpoint to the real world

If you have a LOW Tutorials grade, you can complete & submit an extra credit TRF (to present tomorrow).  Again, only if you have a LOW tutorial grade.

Resume

You will have to submit and present a resume on Thursday.  Since you probably do not have a lot of work experience, you'll have to be more creative and broad than what adults produce.  Focus on what you CAN do, and being able to prove it in some way.  Most jobs for teens are focused on giving skills you'll build from as you get older; time management, customer service, professional language, etc.

Please read through the first two links below BEFORE starting to work on your own.

  1. Read THIS (It's about building your first resume).
  2. Check out another sample here.

Then, choose a template from here (you'll have to scroll down a bit) that captures your spirit and personality (do not pick one that is too flowery - avoid glitter, emojis, and unicorns).  If you do not like any of those, Google is your friend: search for "High School Student Resume Template" or derivations thereof.

Finally, start transferring material from your Resume-Building worksheet and WICOR Proof-of-Acquisition packet into your resume.  Print one out for Thursday.

Q2 Four-Core Grade Report

Please complete the Q2 four-core Grade Report for future AVID@WHS data analysis.  Please be honest. We use this data to make changes to our program and use as evidence for the growth of student achievement.  By falsely reporting your grade, it just messes up the data, which threatens the program.  Thank You!
