We finished the video (Heart of Darfur) after which I had you read and complete Reading #2. I assigned Reading #3 for the weekend...and do not forget about your Oceania test on Monday!!! I used the video-watching time to view and sign your course registration cards. If you forgot it, bring it to me next week.
If anyone missed one of the readings, know that I got them online here. You will have to write a one-page paper with STRICT formatting guidelines. Since you are reading this, I'll give you the assignment here:
What should be done about the situation in Darfur? Your recommendation must be realistic and justifiable. Do some research. The actual paper will be ONE PAGE in length. No longer. Be concise, cogent...and coherent. It must also follow these parameters:
one inch margins 12 point Times New Roman 1.5 spaced No title/heading. Name will be WRITTEN ON BACK.
Read. Write. Proofread. Re-Write. Read more/again. Re-write.
I will be giving you an extra credit assignment next week as well...
Crappola - I cannot stay and enter your classwork grades today. Look for an updated portal grade by Sunday PM/Monday AM.
Adios...

When is this assignment that you posted today actually do?
ReplyDeleteTo be corrected next Tues.
ReplyDeletenext tuesday as in February 24th?
ReplyDeleteNext Tusday? Like in three days Tuesday?
ReplyDeleteSorry - the essay is due the FOLLOWING Tuesday (3/3)- it has YET to be assigned in class. Those of you who check the blog got a sneak-peak...along with an unintended heart attack. I had an email asking me about the Africa map wksht - and got mixed up in my response. We'll be correcting all wkshts 2/24 and probably have some sort of quiz on Thurs 2/26...there, now you can have a genuine heart attack.
ReplyDeletePhew. That's good. I almost collapsed reight then and there when I read that. When you say worksheets, does that include the questions for the 3 Darfur readings?
ReplyDeletethose are due monday...tomorrow
ReplyDeletejust want to bring something up. I was looking on the parent portal, and it looks like the 10 point worksheet for pennies a day carries more weight than the 100 point map tests.
ReplyDeleteNow this is just what the parent portal shows, but I want to be sure that this is not the case....¿Pór favor? ¿Puedes ayudarme?
Mr. Romo you are such a lifesaver! I was freaking out about missing the last three days of school. Any other classwork that I should be doing?
ReplyDeleteThe Pennies a day is Classwork, which accounts for 60% of your grade. Tests account for 30% (plus 10% more at the end with "improvement/consistency/participation). I am entering the classwork in the portal as I write this...it should be complete by tomorrow. Comprende?
ReplyDeleteOk Romo, I just find it weird that we almost do more tests than classwork, and the tests are so much harder, yet the classwork is worth more... Thats what I don't get.
ReplyDeletethis sounds kinda odd but which kind of map is going to be on the test one with corners or one like on the Sheppardsoftware beacuse ive been studing on the sheppardsofware and tryed lizerd point and dident do vary good.
ReplyDeletei cant find Easter Island or Bikini Atoll or Midway Atoll...
ReplyDeletewait! am i supposed to turn in all those sheets you gave me after school friday tomorrow??
ReplyDeleteholy crap you guys need to chill or something this does happen to be mr romo who is very relaxed so you might as well go play COD 5
ReplyDeleteI sure can't find Easter Island..
ReplyDeleteI FOUND BIKINI!!!!!!

Maggie - R-E-L-A-X!!!
ReplyDeleteEverybody - you sound like you're searching for the island on LOST. EVERY map of Oceania shows Pitcairn and Easter Island with arrows pointing off the map - that is enough for you to know concerning locations...now study historical significance!!!
