Welcome to English IV!

Every day, I (or someone else) will post what we did in class. This is great resource to use if you miss a day, or just forgot what we did.

First day, we talked about the gamification of the classroom and why we are doing and then we created character sheets. We talked a lot of nature and demeanors (there is a sheet in LMS for you to look over) and Riley really does look at those. The first group assignment will be based on what you put down for those, so choose carefully!

Make sure that you do the First Day survey that Riley has for you – there are a few people who were present today, but she just didn’t do the survey!

Riley is on a point system, and you can earn up to a total of 1500 points throughout the year, so earn as many as you can!

We talked about Achievements (like on XBox or Steam), Merits and Flaws (super powers you can get at progress report times), and Booty (one time use cards that give you a class privilege). Everyone who was at school today earned a freebie – Davy Jones’ Locker (a restroom pass) and the achievement Deja Vu (you can redo any assignment for full credit)!

Lastly, we did the Archetype Match. There are five words. For each word, assign it a color (as in Architect was assigned yellow the picture). Then, find the definition for the word and two pictures. Each word has a definition and two pictures. Here is the example that we did in class:
