LTI Project

New Semester
We are all starting fresh at the new semester.  All grades have been reset and we all start new.  Now that we have a semester of experience we should all look back at what we learned last semester and understand what we want for the rest of the year.  Everyone has an opportunity to be successful and achieve the grades we want.  Now we are all familiar with the amount of effort it takes to earn the grades we desire.  We should enter this semester better adjusted and ready to work for the grades and knowledge we desire.  I am available after school as well as by appointment on Tuesdays and Thursdays if you need extra help.  Do not let anything stop you from achieving your goals.

UCSD Class
You will begin your class with UCSD next Tuesday (2/9).  It will be a 2 week 1 unit course about career preparation and other important skills for your future.  This means that you will not be required to attend school or an internship.  However, this does not mean netflix & chill for those 2 days.  Make sure you are working on your LTI project and have began your independent reading book.  You should also have e-mailed or spoken to your mentor about an internship for this semester.

Book Reviews
You should have selected a new independent reading book by now, if you have not you should do so TODAY.  Your next book review will be due on March 14th.  I will also be having a book check on Monday.  With no class or internship Tuesday or Thursday this gives you plenty of time to go to the public library for your book if necessary.  Reading is a very important part of your education!

LTI Project
This Friday is your presentation of your LTI project.  Today we will work on your written reflection.  Please use the following template to help you with your writing.  On Wednesday I will give you a template for your Powerpoint presentation.  Please have your written reflection completed by Wednesday so you can focus your time on the presentation.
