T.G.I.BB (thank god for blackboard)
I used to hate when teachers wouldn’t write the hw down on the board, and instead at the end of class quickly add, “I’ll post the homework on blackboard. Bye!” But now when my planner looks like THIS by 3rd period
and our assignments on blackboard look like THIS (bear in mind, this is one class’ assignments from ONE day) -
9/19作业
1. 作文(essay): 第一稿(first draft)9/23 due。最后一稿(final draft)10/1 due。
2. 完成写字考试改错(corrections), 9/23把写字考试和改错还给老师。
3. 对话:9/24做一个对话,9/26做一个对话。
4. 写字考试:9/26, 和第一个写字考试一样,有五个长句子,复习第一单元第三课和第四课。
5. 9/23: 介绍中秋节。
well. ain’t nobody got space for that.
SO. word of advice: EMBRACE blackboard. It will save your life: multiple times. Anytime you lose a worksheet, forget a due date, or need the URL to a link - just check this handy dandy website.http://fcps.blackboard.com
I’d say most TJ teachers use it on a daily basis, to post assignments, updates, and announcements.
The best part is, if you’re an email-kind of person like i am, any major announcements (not quite sure how it works, but I think if it’s important, the teachers can select for an email to be sent) will also be forwarded to you in your email; if you ever do forget to check blackboard.
Plus, sometimes teachers will ask you to take surveys, submit papers, and take tests on blackboard as well, so just MAKE SURE YOUR ACCOUNT IS SET UP AND WORKING DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL.
