English 7 Per. 5 (Culver City Middle School) //ccms.ccusd.org/apps/classes/940360/assignments/ Class Name: English 7 Per. 5 Instructor(s): Bruce Luu en-us SchoolSitePro <![CDATA[Due: 04/10/2020]]> //ccms.ccusd.org/homeworkItem5384369 //ccms.ccusd.org/apps/classes/940360/assignments/ I created a discord channel for all my classes as a means to communicate students directly and as a whole. It was initially created as a temporary tool, but because of the prolonged closure I will continue using discord. If you haven't joined, the link is provided on Google Classroom due to privacy issue and this is a public domain.
 
Once you have joined, please type your name and period in the general text channel so I can identify you and give you access to your period text and voice channel. If you are already on discord and cannot access your period text and voice channel, please message me so that I can give you access.
 
All accounts that have not been identified will be removed this weekend.

Students will read the article and draft a daily routine for yourself. You are not going to be turning in your daily routine drafts, but add a class comment in Google Classroom under this assignment, I want you to write down something that you scheduled for yourself during the day and why you feel that it is important.
 
*This assignment was posted on Tuesday on Google Classroom. Students should be checking google classroom for all assignments since transitioning to online learning.

This is a timed essay and you will have to share/submit it to me by midnight. My 2nd period will be doing the essay tomorrow and that is the reason why I am not posting it on a public page. Please go to google classroom to see the prompt and instructions for the essay. Failure to submit the final essay by tonight could result in a late penalty.

Students are to copy and annotate Robert Frost's poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" on a separate sheet of paper.
Attached is a Google Slide Presentation with instructions on how to annotate the poem. Students must follow the directions presented on Google Slides which includes student's initial annotations and then comparing and contrasting it to the presentation. There is a discussion question that students will collaboratively respond in the comment section of this assignment and writing assessment that needs to be submitted to Google Classroom.

"Nothing Gold Can Stay"

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
