Thematic Screencast cont. 1/11/18

Today in class Mr. Rivers went over the fact that we will not be in class tomorrow due to a guidance meeting talking about our schedules for next year. Mr. River really encouraged us to talk to some of the seniors to see what classes they like and to get their perspectives on things. He also said that it will help you in the long run if you start talking to the teachers who teach a specific class you are interested in taking. He continues to say that it would be very beneficial to get an idea on what you would be learning next year. He goes on to say that this can relate to the Great Gatsby by different perspectives. For example, he said if you were to ask someone who is failing a class they might have more of a negative tone towards the class rather then someone who is getting good grades. I think that is really important to know because if you want to take a class but someone say its a bad class because of their experience might limit you and your knowledge. After he was done explaining the plan for tomorrow he went on to say that the project we've been working on is due Friday at 11:59. He gave us an extension because of how good we worked in class today. He also went over the stuff we need to include on google classroom which is your annotations of both the book and the song, he wants us to have the two claims and also the synthesis claim. Then he wants us to have the screencastify link so he will be able to listen to our project.  Today I didn't face any problems with my project I was just really focused on getting my script done and recording either tonight or tomorrow. Mr. Rivers also urged us to ask any questions that we had today because we will not be in class tomorrow. He also asked us come see him or Mrs. Carroll if we have any technical problems with screencastify. He made it pretty clear that he would not answer any questions on Friday night about technical things.

This can relate to the outside world because like I said yesterday we could be asked to do this in college and just to have the experience and the knowledge on how to work this stuff is beneficial. It is also very important to not sound like a robot in the real world so this can be helpful in sounding normal and natural.
