Check your website status on Powerschool

I've updated Powerschool to show who has shared their website with me. If you have done this, it is marked as collected. If it is not marked as collected, please share your website with me as soon as possible. I am going to make every effort to get them graded over vacation.

Enjoy your week off!

How to site the Facts on File Resources

Many of you have been using the resources that I have posted on this website and been asking how to cite them. The files came from a CD I have so you need to format your citations using the information from that. Follow the format below.

Disc Title: Version, Date. "Article Title," pages if given. Publisher.

Based on that format, your citation would look something like this:

Comparative Religions on File: Macintosh version, 2001. "Buddhism: Basic Teachings," p. 1.14. Facts On File, Inc.

Hope this helps you out. If you need help finding the article title or the page number, let me know.

Enjoy the day off everyone and be safe. For those of you in Gold classes, we will continue working on your websites on Tuesday when I see you again. I am pushing the due date back for your classes until Thursday the 14th.

Great classes the past two days and your project

First, I want to thank all of my students for the great classes we had over the past two days. The conversations we had were incredible.

I also want to remind all of you that we will be starting our work on the Religions Google Sites project on Monday. Please make sure that you have chosen the religion that you want to study. You can use the BBC Religions website to help you out if you need to. I have also posted files on a number of religions on our Resources page. Be thinking about what topics you'll be working on in class as well.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do on these projects.
