I'm almost set for the first day of school. For three of my four courses, I have updated their syllabi and posted both them and the first week's schedule (which includes links to online programs like Quizlet and Turnitin) on PowerSchool for students and parents to see. I still need to finish updating the Canvas pages with the new assignments, due dates, and point values that I've adjusted or created this school year.
I have some of the links for the fourth course ready, but I still need to work on the syllabus and first week's schedule, let alone its Canvas pages. There are a lot of "moving parts" that I'm trying to adjust as I build the pacing and assignments for my new APUSH class. I will likely still have to make adjustments and additions as the school year progresses, but I believe that I have a solid overall plan which will hopefully engage students to put forth their best effort in this challenging class.
For that matter, I feel that my adjustments to Language Arts 10, Honors LA 10, and AP World will make those classes be even more engaging that previous years. In short, even though I still have plenty of work to do before school starts, I'm feeling really good about this year. Already, I've met with students who are excited (and some, a little trepidatious) about being in one or more of my classes. Certainly, I feel more energized as I start to see my students--both upcoming and former.
Next week is going to be great!
