what do you mean "In class written commentary"
what do we have to do for that Assignment?

Fong, It was a written commentary that we wrote in class. You will have to talk to me about that tomorrow. Ms. Peifer

It's a good thing that I'm familiar with both the odyssey and the illiad. I'm not 100% sure when I'll be able to be back in class because the doctor said that what I have going on is a 10-day viral thing. I'll do my best to stay up to date with this site. :)

Ian,
I hope you feel better soon! We are actually a day or two behind my original schedule. We discussed the paper assignment today and started the biography assignment. It will take at least one more day to finish the biography LRJ assignments.

Ms. Peifer

Hey Ms. Peifer this is Enzo.
I was wondering where the stories that we were reading in class last week are on the wiki because I cau't find them

sorry, thats supposed to be I can't find them

enzo look at the recent activities its the sample biography update

i cant think of anyone to write about for the hero assignment!?

Thank you to Chad for answering Enzo's question. (This is my favorite part of 2.0 technology). It is also linked on the main page if you click on "sample biography."

As for Maya's comment, look for people in your life that you look up to or are inspired by.

Where are the stories for the LRJ assignments?

Nevermind. I found them.

is it ok for me to pick my mom as a hero?
she's like 36 yrs old.
-mai lee hr.04

what is the password for the CLIO database?

I haven't heard yet, but try spps0708. If that doesn't work, try spps0809. If that doesn't work, we'll have to wait until Mrs. Erickson gives us the password.

How would we include charts in the paper? Do we just put it right in or separate?

What kind of charts?

Comparison Charts.

Are you adding comparison charts for fun? Is it part of your presentation? I think that it would be great to have as part of your presentation, but since you are writing a comparison analysis, I don't know if you need a chart in the paper.

Ok thank you, I think we will do a chart for the presentation.

What is a parody?

Is there a sample paper for the formal format on the wiki?

broski it is like so-
upper left corner:
Your Name
Ms. Peifer Peifer page# (upper right corner)
10 IB Hour 5
Due Date
Title(centered)

in size 12 times new roman, double spaced

Almost--here is what is should look like:
Your last name page number (1/2" margin--upper right side)

Your Name (starting one inch down on left hand side)
Ms. Peifer
10 IB Hour 5
Due Date
Everything is correct except for where the page number is on Jake's example, which could have happened in the actual commenting process.

Hey, so just making sure that since you weren't at school today, we are still presenting tomorrow..? Or no?
And I was wondering if for our presentation, we could use the white board?
Thanks

Yeah it's really only fair if we don't present until wednesday

Well, I don't know about fair or not, but I don't know if I 'll be in school tomorrow either. I still am not feeling well. Therefore, it would be impossible for you to present tomorrow. So, yes, presentations will have to wait until Wednesday. Sorry everyone!

Is there something else that the mythology project needs besides the creative story and the presentation?

The comparative analysis! The presentation will present both the comparative analysis and the creative story.

The comparative analysis of the subject. Tyler and I are doing a power point presentation, so is the analysis put on the presentation or typed up on a word document? Also, what if we can't find other cultural stories about our subject?

The analysis needs to be turned in as a word document. You decide how much you want included in your power point. The general rule is that there should only be about 3 points per slide. If you haven't found other cultures' stories, I would say you are in bad shape since this is the main point of this assignment. You need to keep looking--possibly in the library. There are mythology sections in book stores as well that you could use--remember to cite your info there in case you aren't buying the books. The myths are definitely out there!

So even though we aren't presenting tomorrow (right?), are our projects due tomorrow?

Let's have everything due on Wednesday when we start the presentations. Sorry for the confusion. Horrible time to be sick!

Ms. Peifer, did you get my email about the power point?

Hey, do we still have to research other myths besides the ones we picked if we are doing constellations?

Awesome! Thanks Ms. Peifer hope you get better. Not before tomorrow though please

Don't worry Jake--I have already acquiesced to this illness and have called a sub for tomorrow. :) I plan on being at conferences though so you can let your parents know; I also plan on being back in school on Wednesday.

Ian--yes, you still have to research other myths from other cultures; I cannot stress this enough--this is the point of the project!

Mai--yes, I did get your email. Look at your email for my comments on your powerpoint.

Oh--one more thing: Tomorrow, you will read the next book in The Iliad. (By the next book, I don't mean book 2, but the next book I want you to read--I think book 22, but I cannot remember if this is right here at home in my foggy state.) The handouts are on the center table. If the sub is confused, help her out, please. There is an LRJ assignment as well. The sub has that assignment, but I will post it here on the wiki as well.

Our mythology projects are due Wednesday then?

When will the LRJs be due? Because I know today not a lot of people were able to get started on them till about the last 15-10 minutes of class, due to the test and that there were not enough packets of the Iliad.

Hey, what's the MEA format for citing sources?

you'r name
teachers name
10 IB english
I think thats what it is.

Thanks, but I mean the for when you're citing the sources. I've had to do it for almost all of my papers in a specific format, but I can't remember what they are and if we have to use them.

And tyvm angie :)

Ian, Check out this cite for more info: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/

Hi Ms. Peifer. Sorry, I alway feel like I'm always bothering you. But I emailed you and you haven't emailed me back and it's late and I still have Math to do. Well anyway, I can't get the header into my paper. I think I have the cheap version of Microsoft works and when I put in the header, it says, "Lee and Vang 1" for the first page. But on the second page it also says, "Lee and Vang 1." So I dont' know how to put it in. So I was wondering if you can help me. Thank you.

I emailed you in return, but I think my email shut down. Here is my reply: Did you insert page numbers or did you just type in 1. If you just typed in 1, it will show up as 1 on every page. If you clicked the insert page numbers icon, you should get the correct page numbers. If you did click insert page numbers and it didn't work--well, then I am stumped as well. Could you upload it into a google doc and then open it up again in class. I can take a better look at it then.

Oh--I forget to say this earlier--it is MLA (not MEA), which stands for Modern Language Association. Purdue's cite on MLA is excellent and if you haven't added to your bookmarks, it would be a good idea for you to do. (You can add it to delicious as well if you have an account with them).

Is it bad if our paper is more than 4 pages?
It was hard because we had to put in all the summaries and even though they are short they still take up a lot of space in the paper.

Okay. Thank you SOOO MUCH. I got it. (:

Wait for the page number, it's our last name then the number in the upper right hand corners on each page.. right?

Cool the site has IM (i love 2.0)

Celia, yeah it's last name page # in the upper right for the header.

Ahh! Me and Mac can't load our presentation! It's like a power point with just a bunch of pictures but we made it in Keynote, a mac application. It won't go into google docs

Oh, and Ms. Peifer, I forgot to talk to you in class today. I am going to be gone tomorrow for the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur but I will be back Friday.

Ms. Peifer, I'm working on the paper, and I put the page number in, but I couldn't figure out how to put the last name in. Also, I'm not sure if it's a 1/2" margin. I went to "Insert" and clicked on page number. It added the page number but I didn't see an option for changing the margin.... How would I go about putting the last name in and making sure it's the right size margin?

Also, does the header with the name, hour, date, etc. need to be double spaced? I don't think it does, but when you did the little example in class last week, you double spaced it, so I just want to make sure.

Ms Peifer i forgot to put the other stories from other cultures in the analysis may i bring that tomorrow? And is it ok that Tyler and I found more then 3 other culture stories?

Are we supposed to double space our heading?

how detailed of a moment are you looking for with this paper? would something like my grandfather's childhood during the depression be a far too broad area? is it more looking for one or two super detailed accounts?

ALSO. for the timeline does each moment on it need a specific date or can some of them just be identified as happening before or after certain events?

I know that we are writing a biography, but is it okay if we write it in first person?

Ms. Peifer, you did not specify if we could or could not write the biography in first person. i went ahead and did it anyway. please post if i am to change it.

For the biography paper are we allowded to briefly say a few of the events that happened, and because they happened the one specific event happened?

Is it ok if our person hasn't been reintegrated to society yet?

Ms. Peifer, is the time line supposed to be typed, written/made in a creative way, or does it not matter?

Ms. Peifer, did you want the interview questions typed and in MLA format? Or did you just want it typed but not in MLA format?

You don't need to type the interview questions. You can of course, but you don't have to.

Ooh okay. So it doesn't need to be in MLA format though right?

Did you want the answers in compelete sentences? Because I just jotted down what I was able to write, so not many of them were in sentences.

What books of the Odyssey did we read? And is there a web site where I can read these books?

Enzo--Didn't Emily give you a copy of the Odyssey to read? Yes, I think so.

Yea she did but that was only one of the books, I think it was book X about Circe

I believe she gave you the copy from the book, which should cover all that we read except for the last summary paragraph that talks about how he returns home, beats the suitors, and regains control of his kingdom in Ithaca.

Ok but I don't have that with me at my house

Is there a list of the LRJs that are due tomorrow?

How come it says this when i click on The Odyssey

"Access Denied

You don't have permission to look at The Odyssey."

Try now, Fong. Let me know if you still cannot see it.

okay it works now thanks,
i got two more questions: on the wiki it says final on thursday, does that mean we turn in the final?
And is this a InClass essay? or at home essay?

Fong, it is an in-class essay. The outline for it is what we were working on in class today. Finals depends on the schedule so hours with odd numbers have finals on Wednesday and even numbered hours have finals on Thursday.

thanks Ms. Peifer.

hi ms. peifer, i was absent today and i was wondering what we did in class?

Hi Liz,
We talked about technology. I'll fill you in tomorrow. No homework though. :) Thanks for checking!

Hey! I can actually comment now!!!

It seems that I can't open the file on the "sample works cited" page. Is there any other way to get it?

It is a pdf so if you cannot open it, you might want to refer to your notes from class when you wrote this information down and then for the format, look at owls at purdue's website. It is excellent. There is a link to it on the class blog.

Ms. Peifer,
What was the LRJ # 4 that is due tomorrow? I just wanted to know if it's the Iliad assignment. What was it? Thanks!

Also, which week was it in quarter one?
