1. Portfolios

• Your portfolio will be yours for the next 9 weeks. 
• Your portfolios will be where you store your readings and writing assignments.
• Today you will choose a color for the front of your portfolio and write your name in large print on the front.

2. More About You 

• If you weren't here yesterday, Click here to complete the form.
• If you finished the first form, this is a new form you haven't seen that asks you to share a little bit more about your life outside of school. 

3. ERWC Goal Matrix 

I'm passing this document out to you on paper. I want you to start rephrasing and reviewing the goals listed in the left column and if you need help understanding one of the goals, please ask.

4. Class Rotations

• Everyone will be put in groups of 2-3. You will move through the rotations with your groups.
• There are five rotations, each at 10 minutes in length. The rotations are as follows: 
• Syllabus Scavenger Hunt 
• Classroom Scavenger Hunt 
• Chat with the Teacher
• Interview Your Peers
• Book speed dating 
• Each rotation will have instructions and information. You only have ten minutes to complete the task, and you will be receiving credit for the tasks you complete.
• For one of the stations you will need an app called Flipgrid or access to a Chromebook with Flipgrid on it. 
• flipgrid.com/scavhunt

5. Exit Slips 

• I'm going to pass out a post it note to each person. 
• I'm asking you to write one question you have about this class and place it on the check in board next to the laptop cart.
• Green means you feel good about English class
• Yellow means you're feeling somewhat positive, somewhat uneasy about English class
• Red means you have lots of questions about English class 

Reminders: 

Have a great day! I'm happy to have you here.
