Today in EN102 we voted on a name and decided on a theme for the WV website we’re working on. The title will be “Stairway to Heaven” and the tagline is “Almost Heaven”. The blog theme is regulus, the one which was gold and blue. Remember that this week we will be posting our work on the new website, and making our links work, so be sure to get last and final revisions and edits accomplished ASAP.

Re: West Virginia Web Site/Blog Project
Date: 3.21.08
I hope everyone has a happy and save Easter and spring break. I wanted to let everyone know the final decisions we made about the West Virginia blog project we began this week. This email contains:
I don’t want you to worry about this project tremendously over spring break, but do pay attention to what the assignment is for when we return to school. Over spring break you and your partner are to plan the work and be ready to report out to the class what you want to do.
I also hope you will take a few days off during spring break, and rest and re-coupe yourselves. It feels a lot like end of the year, but it’s still far too early to begin coasting to the end. We have several more weeks of productivity ahead of us, and I want you to come back to school ready to get involved in a final project.
I will be available on a very limited basis over spring break, as I too plan to take some much needed time off.
Here’s what we decided about work schedule:
WV Project work schedule and benchmarks
March 31 – partners should be able to report to the class what their plan is.
Points: 150 points for this
April 7 -partners should show evidence of research – beyond internet or books. /the personal face of the story should be clearly apparent.
Points: 150 points
April 14 -have first draft of work together and ready for response groups-whole draft
Points: 500 points
April 21 – begin posting to the website and getting materials up.
Here are the notes about ideas for making the end product – the website, have high quality:

Here is the revised schedule for senior project presentations for my students.
As you know I have professional leave for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, so some students have been moved actually to the end of next week for presentations.
As I’ve let you know in class already, next week, while I’m gone, I’ll be leaving the assignment sheets and project information for Dracula (En 102 class) and Star Wars (EN 12 Class). These days are not to be wasted. There will be a quick turn around on the Dracula projects, because you’ll have 3 days on which to work in class. EN12 Students will be completing a viewing guide for Star Wars: A New Hope that will be used as we begin a unit on the heroic quest.
