I have received many assignment submissions!! Many other emails concerning extensions, make-up work and other communications. I really appreciate it and cannot thank you all enough for doing your work especially over this trying time we find ourselves in. I just had another couple of students sign up for iBlog and iLearn who had previously not had access to our work or their student emails didn’t work. I will still accept any late work or make-up work and again, email me if you have questions. I will add another assignment up here in a day or two. Please continue to check teacher blogs and district websites for updates. Thank you.

The assignment for summaries of the first two episodes of ENGINE POWER is due.

Please email me your assignment or share them to me in Google Docs. I have emailed you my example of the assignment as well as what is expected. Email me if you have any questions or comment on a blog post. Remember, everything counts!

I have extended our assignment to be due on Monday, and resume a “Normal” class structure with assignments. After our CTE+Admin meeting yesterday and after recieveing many emails from students who just obtained access, I will push our assignment back one final time.

News From The Meeting

-Everything is going to count. This means assignments.
*I know this may be difficult but keep up with your teachers blogs and other school/district sites. We may not be coming back in the summer due to our situation.

I will send my example by email as well as assignment parameters one more time over the weekend.

-Students who have low grades or want to make up work still have this opportunity through this situation. Please email me if this interests you. Even though we don’t have a classroom, we still have a class. Thank you.

The entire CTE department is meeting today with members of the administration, all pertinent information and updates about our grading, scheduling, outlook, and provided services will be communicated to you. More posts today will follow, thank you.

Now that most students have access to distance learning we are going to make this assignment count. For those who have already done it, you are fine for now. Please refer to all new updates though. The assignment is 3 paragraphs on PART 1(Episode 1) and 3 paragraphs on PART 2 (Episode 2) from Engine Power. You watch episode 1 of season 1 and write 3 paragraphs. Then you watch episode 2 of season 1 and write 3 paragraphs. Turn both these in separately or together. You can submit them in two ways and have already had students do both. 1 : Share to me on Google Drive. 2 : Send to me via email at pizzinm1@dearbornschools.org.

Here is the link

This is the link for the free show. Scroll down and select “SEASON 1.” then “Episode 1 + 2,” on the right drag-down menu. I will be emailing the assignment to some students but again it is best if you subscribe to this blog so each blog post and update is sent directly to you school email.

Tonight I will share my example of this assignment to you all on Google Docs so you can see what is expected of you. This assignment is due FRIDAY BY MIDNIGHT. Please email me if you have questions about the assignment, grading or the deadline. Thank you again and I look forward to continuing are distance learning.

I have received a lot of feedback and have helped many students obtain access. I have updated the grades to reflect how they should have been before the school closings (Check your MiStar!) You will also see that I have set up a new assignment for our Engine Power Show summaries. I will post my assignment on Google Docs and share it with you all tomorrow so you can get an idea of what I expect. The assignment will be due by Friday (Those of you who have already turned it in, good job and thank you very much).

You will also notice on the right hand side I have added a new page “iLearn Link” This contains a link for you to find my iLearn classroom. It has been set up but the content is emptied. I plan to have it all filled in by the end of the week to help supplement what we will be doing with our distance learning experience.

Again, be sure to check your school email, your teacher’s blogs as well as district and school websites for updates and vital information. Thank you !
