8. Graded Phone Conferences: Begin 9/10/18
Graded phone conferences will be September 10-October 8 (5 times)
You will sign up for your time slot
I will post the sign-up sheet on the Weebly. First come; first serve. You will designate your time on the Weebly blog provided. This will be posted tonight.
For the conferences, will have a 15 minute window to discuss any confusion, questions, or problems you may be experiencing with the writing process, grades, etc.
You must be punctual.
If you miss your appointment, you will receive no points; however, you may re-schedule a conference, if needed, without points.
Each phone conference is worth 25 points; however, the dialogue must be applicable to and pertinent to English. For example, one cannot say they simply do not have a question. You must discuss for at least 5 minutes any issues you are having with the process. Failure to do so will result in a 10 point deduction.
