1. Course website: Blackboarddreams.com (I will tell you more about that name later. So much that I have to tell you later.). My email: sleon@beaconschool.org
This weekend you should register for the class website, Blackboarddreams.com. (Some of you may have already registered so check to see that your account is still active.) Please do so by midnight on Sunday at which time the site will be closed to registration. To do this, you must scroll to the bottom of the right column of the homepage and click “Register.” Your username should be your Full Name (First and Last). Do not use nicknames and leave A SPACE between your first and last name. Your password will be emailed to you at which point you can change it if you would like. I also suggest you take a moment to familiarize yourself with the website! Here, you and your family can access the following: homework assignments, class forums, updates on the happenings and direction of the class, complementary materials, writing and research resources, Essay and Creative Project exemplars, a link back to the Beacon homepage, and so much more! Don’t forget to bookmark your course page! So, if you are in my sophomore class, bookmark the sophomore page.
2. Remember, you should keep the syllabus in your binder ALL YEAR. I will review it with you on Monday, the 18th.
3. Class Forum: I would like to get to know you a bit; a humanized learning environment is the best learning environment! Be sure to post in the appropriate Existential Literature class forum. DO NOT start a new thread! This response should be posted by midnight Sunday.
So, this weekend, you should:
- Properly register for blackboarddreams.com
- Review Man’s Search for Meaning in preparation for the in-Class Assessment.
- Post your response to the Class Forum by midnight Sunday. As with all responses, be thoughtful.
- Let your parents review the course syllabus.
