English 4: 9/21,22/10

1. This lesson plan will have some slop over into the next two days because of the short day Wednesday which kept periods 2 and 4 from accomplishing anything class related
2. Post midterm grades for all students. Explain that the high failure rate is caused by the number of zeros. All the missing grades have been highlighted. Many simply have not attended, not made up the work, or did not do assignments for whatever reason.
3. Presentation: turning a loss into a win. What to do when you've made a mistake, especially a mistake you can't afford to make.
   
4. Students were give six optional options to rebuild their loss grades. Time limits were imposed for one of the items (24 hours), and limits were placed on the other options. Students will not be able to cover all the assignments with rebuilding options, but will be able to bring their grades up.
   
5. All graded work was passed out so students could see their grades, see if a "no name" paper was theirs, and evaluate if their paper was somehow overlooked.
6. Q & A to resolve any remaining issues.
