Virtual Office Hours: Monday's 8:00am-noon and Wednesday's 1:00pm - 4:00pm. Of course you can always reach me via Remind or email. I check my email daily. If you need to meet with me any other time, just send me a message and tell me what's going on. COMMUNICATION IS KEY DURING THESE PRESSING TIMES. 

Live Instruction: Every Monday at 9:00am we meet via Zoom Call. Your invitation to join our zoom call is posted on Google Classroom 10 minutes before the meeting begins. Remember, these meetings require you to have your video turned on for the first 10 minutes of the meeting while I verify that you are who you say you are, so comb your hair. Those who miss these meetings can access the recording right after. They are posted on the Zoom Call Assignment. 

Updated Syllabus: There has been a "Virtual Learning" section added to my syllabus and posted on our Google Classroom page. Look for the new highlighted areas. It is expected that you have read the new expectations before participating in virtual calls. 

Assessment: Assessment has not changed. You are still being asked to demonstrate your skills that are reflective of the California State Standards. You are still using our 4-point rubric to represent levels of mastery. Your assignments have the standards attached to them. You will either: master, almost master, have emerging skills, or need improvement. I will offer you feedback on those practice assignments until it looks like you are ready for the "BIG GAME" (aka assessment). You must have completed 80% of the curriculum to pass the course. This has also not changed. 

Our focus during this time of "Stay at Home" orders is about improvement. No new content or skills learning will take place. Your assignments and assessments will be built on giving you ample opportunities to SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW. We will use this time to IMPROVE the grade you have or want to finish the school-year with and work towards that goal together. Due to school closures, English 10H students had 16 standards they were assessd on. They may only have 3 standards with a missing grade in them. Anything more than 3 will result in a FAILING grade. Therefore, it's imparitive that ALL WORK BEFORE SCHOOL'S CLOSED is turned in. 

Late Work: There is NO PENALTY for late work while we are at home. Work that is completed late WILL NOT receive my feedback just a score. No grade penalty will take place. However, ALL LATE WORK must be in by Tuesday, May 26th in order to have it considered as part of your FINAL GRADE and COMPLETION OF THE COURSE. 

Updated Matrix:  A new column of behavioral expectations for "Virtual Learning" has been added and posted . Look for the new highlighted areas.

 

                    

So you have Mrs. Deming as a teacher or adviser?

 

For the advanced English student, 10 Honors gives students a chance to really explore the beginning of rhetoric, rhetorical appeals, the author's message, author's purpose, writing for task, exploring tone, mood, voice, and looking at writing and writers who use punctuation for effect. Students do this in a variety of ways from reading literature to looking at fun facts and interesting articles. They turn to television, speeches, the Internet, and novels to find and understand why writers write what they write.  English 10H student's ultimate goal is to explore HOW author's are effective in their writing, then take those observations and apply them to their own writing. 

 

Mrs. Deming's Classroom is like being whisked away to the movie set of Harry Potter. Light up candles hang from the ceiling, letters fly out of a fireplace, and students are asked to work with their Defense Against the Dark Arts partners. Their names are called from the sorting hat and students typically sit at one of the 4 houses: Griffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. Some students sit at Platform 9 3/4 or at the Ministry of Magic. All tables have black potion cauldron with supplies in them. Mrs. Deming has magical artifacts all over her classroom. She does this because she believes learning should be engaging and fun. So be ready, to join the magical fun in her classroom.
