HAUSER IN THE VIRTUAL 20-21.
It's Distance Learning 2.0 with new and revised guidelines. If you are one of my virtual students this year, welcome to my class! Below you will find the overview of the guidelines for the virtual platform for English 10, English 10 Honors, and AP Language. While you are still covering the same texts and major assignments as in-person students, the format and the way that we do things in the virtual may be different. Live streaming in the class is optional. If this is something that you're interested in, you'll need to let me know. I am more than happy to make sure that you are an active part of the class via live streaming when it's possible to do so. It's the best way to make sure that you're catching all the pertinent parts of the lesson. Since we won't be seeing each other in-person, COMMUNICATION IS ESSENTIAL. You need to check the following EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL DAY: (1) your school email, (2) the daily agenda, (3) Canvas, and (4) your grades and attendance on Skyward. There will be scheduled video conferences to check in and provide direct instruction. However, until I have a better system planned out, organized, and color-coded in the best Type A fashion, you can check out the stuff posted below. Let's do this.

E-LEARNING RESOURCES 19-20.
DISTANCE LEARNING SPRING 2020. To keep things as simple as possible, I will post everything on Canvas. I will use your school email to maintain correspondence. Please check that daily. Email me if you have any questions. At this point, here are the important things to know regarding e-Learning at Hauser:
1. We are still in session via eLearning through Friday, May 1st.
2. You must participate and complete quality e-Learning assignments to pass the semester.
3. If you fail to do e-Learning assignments, you will either fail the semester or receive an incomplete (depending on what your third quarter grade was). < Obviously, you don't want to do this.
4. The expectations for e-Learning have been adjusted and will continue to be adjusted as needed. It's a learning curve for everyone. English 10 scholars, you'll receive at least one reading assignment and at least one writing assignment each week.
5. I will provide a weekly overview of assignments and all course resources needed for e-Learning via Canvas.
6. College Board is still providing AP exam opportunities. I will keep you posted regarding that.

AP LIT EXAM 2020. The AP Literature and Composition Exam is on May 13th. You will take your exam via your personal device at 2PM. You have demonstrated time and time again that you know your stuff. Now, you just have to show College Board the same thing. Review the texts that we've read, look back at those crash course overviews, know your literary devices, and know the tropes and characteristics of major literary movements. Employ close reading, annotate like crazy, plan, write, and articulate. Use the advanced expository structure. Differentiate between speaker and poet, and narrator and author. Do your best. Imagine "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes playing when you take it.

AP LANG EXAM 2020. The AP Language & Composition Exam is on May 20th. You will take the exam on your personal device at 2PM. It will be a rhetorical analysis prompt. We have prepared for this all year, so just do your best! Remember: Write clear, strong, and specific thesis statements. Use that Irish thesis model if it helps. Employ that advanced expository structure. Know your rhetorical devices. Close read and annotate prompts and passages. Look for those appeals and scan for potential logical fallacies. Use the SOAPSTone reading strategy. USE THE TEXT to articulate and explore the claims you set out in your essays. Pace yourself. It should go without saying, but I am so proud of all of you already.

A Reflection on Hauser in 2019.
My seniors plod into my classroom looking like zombies- all have coffee or hydro-flasks in hand. We turn on some music... and this ranges from Adele to classic rock to alternative rock to musicals to 80s to folk to whatever we are feeling that day. However, I disproportionately play ELO's "Evil Woman" and "Telephone Line," Adele's "Make You Feel My Love," Harvest King's "Dancing in the Moonlight," and Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee." Then, we chat, I make last minute copies, my normal morning dwellers chill in the "living room" portion of my classroom. The bell rings, the dwellers leave, my seniors are slowly waking up thanks to the magical effects of coffee, and we stand for "The Pledge of Allegiance" and a moment of silence. After the announcements, we "make a freakin' circle" (a.k.a. we pull the alternative seating closer together), under the fake trees that I rescued from the dumpster, and we rhetorically analyze the assigned article or the reading. We might do practice timed writes, work on scholarship essays, journal, work on vocabulary building, or debate something. BUT, the socratic seminars and writing workshops are the most prevalent. Occasionally, students will leave me notes on my desk, Ferrero Rochers (my guilty pleasure), ice cream from the Corner Cafe, or a jar of accolades (because these are the kind of students that go to Hauser).
