Riley talked about a few things today – namely, grades and final exam exemptions.

If you are in 11th grade (Felipe, Selena, Matt), you will take your final exams in the following order:

Block 1 – June 4th

Block 2 – June 5th

Block 3 – June 6th

If you are in 12th grade, you will have to take your finals EARLY, so you will take your finals in this order:

Block 2 – June 3rd

Block 3 – June 3rd

Block 1 – June 4th

Regarding exemptions, this is NOT a TAKS tested subject, so you will need to make at least an 80 and have good attendance in the class in order to exempt.

Now, regarding what we did in class today –

We listened to Time by Pink Floyd and answered the ten questions in LMS about it. The first three questions will require a quote, but the last few don’t. Don’t stress. You can answer the questions in order you desire – you can go backwards.

Make sure you use complete sentences and answer the questions fully and appropriately.

When you are done, work on your obituary!

Riley forced us to listen to Time by Pink Floyd. It’s a LONG song – it’s not the radio edited version. There is a reason for this – make sure you listen to all of it, even the parts that seem meaningless. There is a meaning for all ot, and it all relates to CARPE DIEM.

When you answer the questions, make sure you answer them fully. Don’t just skim through them and rush throughthe questions. Historically, people who do that don’t score well on the test. Don’t skip a question – that automatically kills your grade.

You can listen to the song as many times as you want when you take the test and use the lyrics to help you answer the test. You can use whatever you need (OneNote, song, lyrics) on the test.

We sneezed today about Time and then Riley played “Time” by Pink Floyd. She said that lots of aspects about the song were intentional and deliberate to enhance the meaning of the song.

  • It takes about twenty seconds before we hear any noise.
  • It takes about 55 seconds before we hear any music.
  • It takes about 2 minutes 30 seconds before we hear any lyrics.
  • There is a solo that lasts about 1 minutes 30 seconds.

After we listened to the song, we took the “Timed” test. Don’t worry – it’t not actually timed. It is ten questions long and as long as you treat each question as if it an OER on a TAKS test, you’ll be fine.

Remember to:

  • embed your quotations
  • use correct mechanics
  • use good quotes
  • shows insight – good ideas and good thinking

Remember – Carpe Diem! Use your time in class wisely.
