2009-05-12T20:55:00.001-07:00

Guys I am so sorry I am not here today! Madison is running fever and can't go to day care because of it.

Please complete the following items I have placed on this blog posting. I really need for yall to come through for me today and work during class instead of doing nothing and playing game.

NO ONE, WHATSOEVER SHOULD BE PLAYING GAMES ON THE INTERNET TODAY!

Your grades are not exactly correct. I will have an updated grade for you tomorrow.

WARM-UP:

* I do still have a couple of yalls time sheets. Sorry about that. Please just write down and keep track of your hours and I will get it to you on Thursday.

* Please update your time sheets if your folders are in the crate and if you have your time sheet.

* Please update your yellow pay check stub record sheet

* If you have not turned in on paper, your weekly schedule yet, please do so today. I believe that blogger is fixed and you should be able to post your WEEK #35 Work Schedule to your blog if you so desire. You need to make sure you have either posted your this week's work schedule or written it down on a sheet of paper and turned it in to the tray.

* Get the stuff out of your mailbox. The first part of your semester exam project is in there. It is one copy per person. If you lose and require another, it will cost you!

CLASS ACTIVITIES:

* complete the warm-up items

* you have two choices of what to do today:

1) Continue working on your OSHA certification course or take the Alternative assignment TEST in QUIA. link for quia test-->OSHA: TEEN Safety in Restaurants

- If you choose this option, then you may go to the sub and tell him/her that you need a set of headphones because you are working on OSHA today. If the sub sees that you are not on www.careersafeonline.com at any point, then the sub will take your headphones away and you must start working on the final exam simulation packet!!

2) Begin working on your Semester Exam project, which is in your mailbox.

If you choose #2, please read the following information is to introduce you to what you are going to be doing. If you do not read the information listed below and you do not follow the directions given below, points will be taken off for this section. I have built something into this blog posting to see if you can actually read and follow directions.

FINAL EXAM PROJECT INTRODUCTION:

* Be sure to read all information in the packet. Read all directions.

* For this simulation you are to pretend you are living and working in the imaginary towns of Rivertown and Walchville. Everyone will be finding a job that they like, locating a place to live, and doing the things that are part of everyday life.

* Be sure you understand which direction is North, South, East and West, Northeast, Southwest, etc.

* Understanding and being able to read the maps in the packet are very important. Be sure you know how to get around and know how to use the legend and keys.

* If I cannot read your handwriting on any part of this project, I will mark that answer wrong.

* You need to honestly think about the answers and decisions you make to come to your answers to put on your papers.

* You would be amazed at how many people your age can't read a map and do not know how to follow directions (north, east, west, south); so even though Part I is going to seem very, very easy to you, I expect it to be so, BECAUSE YOU READ THE INFORMATION, FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS, AND PAID ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU WERE DOING.

Specifically getting started with Part I

* On pages 4 and 5 is a Map of the two towns you are "living in"

* Page 6 is a directory of streets and what general location those streets are on the map

* Page 7 gives you a listing of buildings/places you are to label in the correct location on the map (pages 4 & 5) ~ using different colors to label the different categories might make this easier to do

Specifically getting started with Part II

* page 10 is where you do a basic interest inventory, trying to figure out what the right job for you would be

* page 11 and 12 is a "sample - pretend" classified section of the newspaper. The classifieds is still the number 1 way to locate and find jobs

* page 13 is seeing how well you can read the classifieds (there are lots of people out there that do not know how to do this)

* STOP ONCE YOU GET TO PAGE 13

* DO NOT COMPLETE PAGES 14, 15, & 16, there are several things I want to go over with you about these pages

DUE TODAY:

* Check writing worksheet (points off for being late)

* Recording checks worksheet

* anything you may owe me

AGAIN, PLEASE BE GOOD AND ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR TODAY!

NO GAMES, NO LOUD TALKING, NO OUT LOUD MUSIC

Have a good day and see you tomorrow.

DAILY AGENDA, TUESDAY, 3/10

2009-03-09T21:04:00.000-07:00

I am so disappointed in our ability to read and follow directions listed on my BLOG.

These were the statistics of who followed directions or not:
1st period -->
9 people followed directions perfectly
5 people absent (4 no call/no show)
3 W-2 forms I pulled from folders
4 No W-2 form in folder that I could find (= doesn't have or in wrong location in folder)
2-3 did not work in the 2008 year
3 - zeroes

2nd period -
5 people followed directions perfectly
1 person absent (no call/no show)
5 W-2 forms I pulled from folders
11 No W-2 form in folder that I could find (= doesn't have or in wrong location in folder)
10 - zeroes

If you followed directions exactly as they were listed on my blog, then you received a 150.
If you did not follow directions at all, but your W-2 was in your folder in the exact spot I told you to put it, and it took me 3 seconds to find, then you received a 25.
If you did not follow directions at all and did not have your W-2 form in your folder in the organized place listed on the board, then you received a 0.

TAKE YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE - DIAL TUNES OFF YOUR PHONES - IT IS NOT PROFESSIONAL WHEN AN EMPLOYER CALLS YOU - THAT THEY HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC WHEN WAITING FOR YOU TO ANSWER. IT IS EXTREMELY INCONSIDERATE TO YOUR CALLER AND IN VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.

YALL ALL NEED TO START GETTING UP EARLIER IN THE MORNINGS. YALL DON'T HAVE TO BE AT SCHOOL UNTIL 8:45 THERE IS NO REASON FOR ANY OF YOU TO BE LATE!! WAKE UP EARLIER!!

If you do not follow directions, you will lose points off your Weekly Professional Development points, which as you should remember, is 1/6 of 10% of your average. There is no reason you should not be able to complete this entire worksheet during class today.

You will go through the etools site, reading the information and filling out the worksheet you printed out.

This is a great activity and you were going to do it whether I was here or not, at some point this semester. Whether you work in a Restaurant or not, the information you can learn from doing this activity can really be applied to all industries.

REMINDERS:
I AM GONE TODAY, DON'T FORGET. I EXPECT YOU TO ALL BE ON EXCEPTIONAL BEHAVIOR TODAY AND TO DO EVERYTHING I LIST HERE FOR YOU. Please don't let me down today.

We have to have some serious discussions about what's been going on around here when I get back.

I still have your folders at home. There are a lot of you who are missing all kinds of documents, pay check stubs, filling out the pay check stub record sheet. Your grade this six weeks may really suffer because of that. You have to keep that stuff up to date, because you never know when I am going to take a grade on it, plus it is the law and a major part of this class.

Hopefully tomorrow or Monday I can let each of you know what I am missing from you.

Tests will be taken in Quia tomorrow so be prepared for that.

Chapters 10 and 11 will Present on December 2, (the Tuesday after Thanksgiving). These groups need to be ready.

2) If you need ot make copies of check stubs, please do so and then just put the copies in your mailbox for safe keeping until I return tomorrow with your folders.
3) Update your 3rd Six Weeks time sheet

REMINDERS:

3RD SIX WEEKS GRADES HAVE BEGUN ACCRUING!

Your group projects should now all be done. All documents and presentations better be saved to the J:drive in the appropriate location.

I have a new assignment for you to start today. YOU WILL NEED EVERY MINUTE OF TODAY, TO READ AND GATHER YOUR INFORMATION FOR THIS ACTIVITY, SO YOU CAN START PREPARING HANDOUT FOR ACTIVITY ON THURSDAY. The whole project MUST BE finished by the end of the period on Friday.

DON'T FORGET YOUR 2ND SIX WEEKS TIME SHEETS ARE DUE SIGNED BY YOUR EMPLOYER BY FRIDAY, 11/14.

* Title the post: Work Schedule Week#12
* List in the text box, your work schedule for this week

CLASS ACTIVITIES:
3) Group work is DONE. EVERYTHING BETTER BE TURNED IN CORRECTLY.
4) New assignment that must be completed by the end of the period Friday.
TODAY'S ASSIGNMENT IS GOING TO REQUIRE THAT EVERYONE IS QUIET DURING CLASS SO THAT EVERYONE CAN READ AND STUDY THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO COMPELTE THEIR PROJECT.

5) You are going to want to take some notes (written, typed in word) as you read and study the website topic you choose.

6) Click here to go to the assignment directions and requirements sheet. http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dgq9d2s6_38f4vpw2w
YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TO READ EVERYTHING ON THE DOCUMENT AT THE ABOVE WEBSITE. IF YOU WANT TO PRINT IT OUT, THAT IS FINE WITH ME.

YOU MAY NOT COPY AND PASTE INFORMATION FROM THE WEBSITES TO BE USED AS YOUR OWN WORK - THAT IS PLAGIRISM AND WILL RESULT IN A ZERO. There is nothing wrong with copying and pasting and then going back and writing it in your own words. You can even quote some of the informaiton you get from the websites you will be visiting. YOU CANNOT QUOTE EVERYTHING AND YOU MUST GIVE CREDIT TO THE WEBSITE YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION FROM. (I will talk more about that on Thursday.)

I lost my rubric while I was creating it. I will get the grading rubric to you on Thursday as well as show some examples of what I want.

ALL YOU REALLY NEED TO DO TODAY IS:
1. pick your topic
2. read and take notes over your topic from the website
3. read over the requirements, listed at the above website.

THERE SHOULD BE NO TALKING TODAY DURING CLASS!!!
