good evening everyone and welcome to open house on March 24th 2021 welcome to my classroom my virtual classroom my name is mrs. Herman and I teach English to 11th greed and Spa great on 12th grade honors I also teach advisory class to 10th graders so welcome to all parents and guardians of my students so I'm going to go ahead and give you a little tour of my peach and our classroom so if you if you go to the James A Garfield webpage at Garfield HS. Org and you click on staff then you should be able to find my name it's all the teachers and staff are listed in alphabetical order find my name and then you'll enter my web page so I have the course syllabi here I also have a motive contact here Papa proud papa t-shirt and my office hours are here I also list my email address if you don't want to send it send an email to the form you can just send an email directly to my email address and I typically respond within a school day so please please do take advantage if you ever want to contact me and have any specific questions all right so this is my page have a little bit of extra information in there and I'll be posting the video on my page but I just wanted to remind everyone that in order for students to login to class they must be registered with LAUSD so in order to do that they have to go to LAUSD. Zoom. Us so make sure they're entering the LAUSD resume site and then they click sign in and then from there than they should be able to join a meeting and use the meeting codes and pass codes that I gave them so I did I did give everyone the meeting codes and Pascal's under updates on schoology so if they go to schoology if they go to their course whatever. They have with me and they should be able to see a recent update from me with new Zoom meeting information with the meeting ID in the passcode and as long as they're entering with the LAUSD. Zoom. Us sites and they should be able to access the class that way if for whatever reason this link does not work for them okay this is probably the easiest way but I know a couple people doesn't work for them so that's why I just wanted to go over how to enter the course through LAUSD. Zoom. Us is the site that we need to enter right okay so that's that this is what my horse peaches usually look like obviously I have different. So each course might look a little bit different but for the most part I put the zoom meeting on top I also put this document because students are always asking me that Monday or is it Monday be or what upcoming holidays are there that document right here list all of the important dates and Monday schedules and even. Bye. Bell schedule as well so on that document there if you need it I also uploaded a copy of the current units that were studying in the textbook and any additional materials that were that were using in the class and then from there on now I list all of the assignments and resources according to chronological order so right now we're on this week and any assignments for this week any materials that I provide this week I will put in this folder okay and of course students can always check their grades for missing assignments and their scores I think I believe it's on the turn aside for them and they can check their grades that way parents if you haven't signed up yet for parent portal that's a great way for you to sit to check your child's grades and attendance all of that access to parent portal so please please do sign into your parent portal and check on check on your child's grades and attendance okay so so yeah that's just a basic just how I organize my online class and materials once again the updates share the meeting ID and passcode and the material this is where we have the zoom link the direct to zoom link important dates textbook important materials and then assignments and specific materials will be in chronological order here in these folders recently what we've been studying is in 12th grade we finished a juvenile justice unit and we did some expository reading and writing so we had a situation and we had a real life type of situation where we did real life type of writing not not so much essay writing that were used to but but that that real life type of situation writing and I'm hoping that the 12th graders really enjoyed that Juvenile Justice unit and learned a lot from we're also finished play the tragedy of Macbeth by Shakespeare and and we also have a real-life prompt coming up for this for this text so that's for the 12th graders for the 7th graders we're finishing up with The Crucible and we will have a prompt an argumentative essay prompts that we will be answering for The Crucible and and then eventually we I have some tie-in text and and have like an overarching prompts about fear and how people react to fear and I'll be I'll be writing an argument essay on that as well okay other than that advisory students if you're in my advisory class turns maybe you heard about your child talking about fact-checking and I introduced them to a site called snopes.com it's one of the sites that I use when I'm I don't have the time to do the research myself I check to see if it's on Snopes and Snopes usually does the research for you so any viral story that's out there then they can definitely check to see if it's on Snopes we had a discussion board and I'm usually usually will have discussion boards for advisory class about you know skills real life skills and and time management skills researching skills that kind of thing so I turned my own example hear advisory students were able to touka Pizza back to that discussion but yeah I'm I'm really excited to to be continuing with our final quarter of this school year I know it's been a very interesting year and I really hope you guys have taken a lot of knowledge and good memories and experiences and I hope you guys all finish the school year off of the bank I want to give a special route to my advisory students keep up the good work and you guys are going to enter junior year which they say is the hardest year right so so be prepared for that and special shout-out to my juniors because you guys are now finishing up what maybe is your hardest year and you guys are going to be seniors next year so it's a very important year for you right and really really really big shout-out to my seniors you guys are almost there this is The Final Countdown it's your last stretch the final quarter of your high school career so let's finish things off with a bang and and let's enjoy yourself and learn at the same time I'm really excited for you guys to graduate and I'm really happy to have been with you guys through this process so thank you guys for for being here thank you family and Prince and Guardians for supporting your children and and supporting their learning in my classroom I really really appreciate it so I really hope to see you guys someday in person in the future but until then having great nights and enjoy the rest of open house bye
