= = __**Monday (Week 4)- Enlightenment**__ __**Monday (week 9)**__ Hey guys. Today, I want you to stay in class to wrap up the movie Luther & participate in a writing prompt. If you have your Reformation work to turn in today, please do so - put your notebook in the red backpack. If you wish to turn it in Tuesday, that is fine as well. Below is the schedule for this week, as of now (Mon. morning) __**Thursday (week 8)**__ Hey guys. I chatted with Mrs. Mast and she was quite impressed by your thinking and your work...Bravo! TODAY - I am pausing the viewing of our movie, Luther for one day. This should give you a day of class to work on your last chapter and/or revise work from previous chapters if you choose to do so. TOMORROW - rejoin us for the last part of the movie. MONDAY - the contract will conclude & I'll meet with each of you to discuss the next unit of study, Explorers and Enlightenment
 * 1. NOTEBOOKS GRADED. I graded most of your notebooks and recorded scores in Infinite Campus. Check that out today. I still need to grade the following:**
 * Emily**
 * Brandon**
 * Josh**
 * Please put them in my red bag before you leave class today.**
 * 2. REVISING WORK FOR HIGHER GRADES. As I told most of you verbally last week, if you wish to revise any parts of ANY lesson (except for timeline, since that is graphic) you may want to do it verbally with me. We would simply have a discussion about the parts that you didn't earn full points on. Or you can stick with revising in writing. All revisions will be due by Week 8 of this quarter. You need to make an appointment with me on Tuesday or Thursday lunch or an afterschool time. Email me for this.**

At the very least, tell them what the image is (some details about it) and why you believe it is a quintessential image of the Renaissance/Reformation.
 * Thursday** - Begin the new contract if you earned an "A" or "B" for the last contract & wish to continue in the same manner

__**Thursday**__
Hi guys. I now have Infinite Campus updated. Please check out your grades. If you have zeros, it means that I have not seen that work yet & therefore have not graded it. I have checked out each of your individual pages and found 2 images along with questions and answers on everyone's except for Maya/Emma's...also Nik/Landon just have one. Starting today, the students listed below should head down to the library to show your image #2 to Mrs. Mast. Present the image and your questions and answers and receive feedback from her.

As we near the end of this contract, I'd like to say "Way to go to those of you who have dilegently kept up with the work, put forth your best effort and/or revised unsatisfactory work. You have risen to the challenge and I am very proud of you." For those who are earning below a "B", you have one week (next) to prove that you can keep up with this advanced/accelerated pace. Otherwise, you will need to come back to the classroom starting week 9. If you are earning an "A" or "B", you will have the choice of whether you wish to continue to do the advanced/accelerated program or rejoin the classroom for our next unit of study: Explorers and Enlightenment. __**Wednesday**__ Hi guys. Last night I graded all of the notebooks that were in my backpack. A few of you need to leave yours after class today & I'll get them graded tonight. The Who Am I? projects turned out fairly well. I'd like you to test them out on students today in class. I'll have groups gather round your envelope with you leading them through the clues one at a time. Question them, using your key. See how fast they can guess who your person is. Check in with me on doing this. If you didn't do a Who Am I? Come in the room nonetheless & help with another person's envelope from another class.

Starting tomorrow, I would like for you and your partner to visit Mrs. mast again to present your second quintessential image and questions and answers. Here is the schedule: ** 1st period (8:15-9:05) ** · Thursday 2/17 Zoe & Ben THEN Emily & Kellen ** 2nd period (9:08-10:00) ** · Thursday 2/17 - Tyler & Ryen THEN Abby, Zoe, Alison · Tuesday 2/22 - Brandon & Daniel THEN M aya & Emma

I will be scheduling you and your partner in to share Image #2 with Mrs. Mast starting in the next couple of days...so heads-up. __**Monday**__ Hey guys. I didn't have a chance this weekend to grade your notebook. Please leave it in the red backpack before you leave today. This week you should be working on The Reformation Begins chapter. You will complete the essential questions, timeline and terms story. I will be inviting you into class either Wed. or Thurs. to watch the movie Martin Luther. Also this week you and your partner should find your third and last quintessential image of the Renaissance/Reformation. __**Thursday**__
 * Hi guys. I'm back and I would love to conference with each of you individually today while the class works on taking a test. I'll call you in to the classroom one by one. I just want a chance to stamp your notebook for the chapter on leaders of the Renaissance & ask you reflective questions like "How has the advance learning contract been working for you as a learner?" No pressure. I just feel like I haven't been able to interact with you all very much and I miss you & want to know how things are really going.**

__**Wednesday**__ Hi guys. I'm at home with a sick kid today. Let's say all of the stuff in the list below is due tomorrow (Thursday) since I won't be in today to collect it. Perhaps today you should work on images & the q's and a's. Be productive Sutterer __**Tuesday**__ Hi guys. I chatted with Mrs. Mast this morning about your presentations. She is so far impressed by your work/analysis. She was surprised by how some of you chose unique images...not just the usual Mona Lisa images. Bravo for going the distance and doing some good research. She also noted that it seems that you all have plenty of time to accomplish the work/tasks. That tells me that our due dates and deadlines are reasonable.

Due tomorrow WEDNESDAY: see the note below. PLEASE POST IMAGE #2 AND QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON YOUR WIKI PAGE. Work hard. Be productive today

I saw "redo" assignments in the following notebooks: Daniel, Brandon, Abby, Zoe, Magda, and Landon. If I missed yours, please let me know with a post it note on your notebook.

 * Happy Monday to you good scholars**

Hope you had a great long weekend.

I worked on a lot of stuff this weekend, but did not get to your notebooks....sorry, I would like to grade them tonight. So please leave them with me at the end of class today. I'll be sure to give you good feedback.

By Friday of this week you should have another chapter completed and moving on to the next. I'll collect your notebook on Friday a second time. Also, during this week, you and your partner should find at least one image and complete the Library of Congress set of questions (SCROLL DOWN ON THIS PAGE). Complete this together, but each one of you should print and stick in your notebook the image and the questions/answers. In the end, you will have completed this cycle with 5-10 images & then you will choose your final 3.

Be productive today! Sutterer

Hey there good students (Friday) By reading your wiki entries I can tell that timing/pacing on this kind of independent work varies for each of you. Some of you had some homework last night! :) The beauty of this advanced learning contract is that YOU get to determine pace. However, it does take discipline.

After you check in with me today, head to the library & introduce yourself to Mrs. Mast as Sutterer's Advanced Learning contract students. She is prepared and expecting you. Enjoy...soak it up. Record any notes on your laptop wiki page...or in your notebook...whichever works best for you. Come back to class & turn in your notebook with the following work stuck in it.

Due TODAY 1) Responsibility grade: All wiki entries for each day state specifically which part of the chapter you worked on etc. 2) Knowledge: Essential questions for chapter 28 (27 green) are answered accurately 3) Understanding: Timeline & Terms story completed with clarity, accuracy & depth.

Have a great day and wonderful weekend. It is a pleasure working with you all, Sutterer Hey Sutterer
