B.Y.O.D.

“The use of computers and technology in the Central Bucks School District is designed to have a positive impact on curriculum and instruction for all students. The Bring Your Own Device Policy will allow students to utilize technological devices (Android, IPAD, etc.) for instructional purposes only. The use of these devices may vary across classrooms, and students are expected to abide by the individual teacher guidelines for the use of the device. If a teacher deems that a student is using the device for an inappropriate purpose (texting, gaming, etc.) or at an inappropriate time (lecture, class discussion, etc.) then the teacher should follow his or her classroom management plan. If the use of this device continues, a conduct referral should be written and submitted to the appropriate House Office.”

Parents: The following DVD will be used in this class. Feel free to look it up on line. Your signature will indicate your approval.

Valentin ( PG 13)

A coming of age story told through the eyes of a precocious 10-year old boy who lives with his grandmother in turbulent 1969 Argentina. Estranged from his eccentric parents, young Valentin yearns for a real family and dreams about being an astronaut. He befriends a recluse neighbor, forms an unlikely friendship with one of his father's many ex-girlfriends and sets out to discover the harsh realities about his parents, all the while bringing joy and wisdom into the lives of the adults around him. It relates to our Chapter 2-2 and 3-2 vocabulary unit and is used to put into context not only the vocabulary but also the uses of the subjunctive when we write the protagonist a letter as formative practice for the core writing assessment.
