Weekend Reminder

Soc Team,

Congratulations on finishing your True Selfie projects! I am looking forward to looking at them closely and seeing your thoughtful and creative work.


This weekend we will not have any Forum or formal observations. However, keep your eyes open to seeing the strange in the familiar and look for opportunities to love your neighbors as God has loved you.

Slight Change to the Schedule

Soc Team,

There has been a slight change to the schedule for the project:

 - You will have your block period to work on the third part of the True Selfie project. Instead of the project being due at the beginning of class, it will be due at the end of the period. Be sure to anticipate how long it will take you to finish this portion of the project so as to complete it in a timely manner.

Weekend Reminder

Soc Team,

As you know, we have switched around some of the due dates for the project and quiz this past week and going into next week.

Here is the updated schedule:
 - Monday - True Selfie, Part I is due in its entirety. Be sure to look at the rubric to ensure you have completed all aspects of the project.

 - Tuesday - True Selfie, Part II (very short) is due. This portion is dependent on Part I

 - Wednesday - We will have our quiz over this unit. Be sure to look at the Socialization Unit Questions to know what you need to know for this quiz.

 - Block Day - The third and final portion of the True Selfie project will be due.

I know this sounds super ambitious, but our time in class will be dedicated to allowing you to work on the project and study for the quiz.

If you have questions, let me know.

Amended Schedule

Soc Team,

Here is the amended schedule:

- Submit the written portion of True Selfie, Part I on block day and the creative portion of the project on Monday.

- The Socialization Unit Quiz will be pushed back from block day to Wednesday of next week.

If you have any questions, please ask.

This Week

Soc Team,

This week will be a little unusual. 

First off, as you already know, I have graciously given you Monday off from school to rest, observe, and remember the tremendous work of Martin Luther King Jr.

Second, this week you will have yet another opportunity to shape culture by eschewing gossip and asking sincere questions. Make it happen!

Third, Tuesday I will not be in class. Miss Jelley, who has consistently been helping with the 3rd period Soc class will be covering my classes. She is a wealth of sociological knowledge so please ask questions of her as they arise. And run your ideas for the Selfie project by her.

Fourth, Tuesday and Wednesday (like block day of last week) are dedicated to working on the True Selfie Project. Utilize this time wisely to write up your analysis and to write your description for your artistic image of self.

Fifth, on Tuesday and Wednesday, please ask questions of Miss Jelley and myself to ensure you are prepared for your block day quiz over this unit on socialization.

Sixth, on block day your project will be due. And I am so excited to see what you have created!

Seventh, on block day you will have an opportunity to take a quiz on this unit. Again, be sure to ask your questions in advance.

Weekend Reminder

Soc team,

First off, please take Monday off.

And on this MLK extended weekend, look deeper, see what is beneath the surface. Truly see. And when the time is right, be like MLK and work for biblical justice.

Observations are due on Tuesday. However, you may use time on Tuesday to write them up and submit them in class. They are due at the conclusion of the class period.

Tuesday and Wednesday of next week are dedicated to working on the True Selfie, Part I project. I encourage you to use your time well and do much of your analysis and reflection during class time. The project is due on block day of this upcoming week.

Finally, we will take a quiz over this Socialization unit on block day of this upcoming week. If you have any questions about the material from the Socialization Unit Questions, please be sure to ask them on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Weekend Reminder

Soc Team,

This first week flew by and we are already into the first semester!

For our first weekend, be sure to respond to the Soc Forum 07 on Focus.

Welcome Back!

Soc Team,

Welcome back! I hope and pray your Christmas vacation was meaningful and rich.

As we start this new quarter, I am looking forward to seeing what we can do to continue to be a blessing to our school community. To that end, in order to simplify our opportunities to serve and shape culture, let's focus on two areas:

- No gossip. Every day, let's endeavor to not only not participate in gossip but not allow it in our presence.

- Sincere questions. Every day, let's endeavor to at least once ask sincere question of someone with whom we interact.

We will reflect on block days on our experiences.
