PERIOD 6 MOS TEST and AD and Warning - April 18 and Ongoing...

On Friday, April 18, Period 6 lost the privilege to see the very popular movie, "Freedom Writers" and the movie was cancelled, due to unacceptable behavior by a few students. As a result not only was the movie cancelled, but the awards to go to a couple of the students involved also were forfeited. There will be no awards ceremony for Period 6 at this time.

Students were assigned a research project about the movie. It was counted as a "TEST".

RE: The movie "Freedom Writers"...
1. What is it about?
2. Where does the story take place? What do the characters do for a living?
3. Who wrote the story that became a film? Was it based on a true story?
4. Who stars in the film? Anyone famous? Anyone you have seen before?
5. Did the film win any awards? Explain.

Include at least one photo of the film.

Next, turn your test answers and photo, into a poster designed to promote the film to your class.


There is no guarantee Period 6 will ever see the film as a class, at this time.

Note: Numerous students were not in their assignned seats on Friday, without permission to move. Students must remain seated in their assigned seats and not to move without permission, and if students do not move to a seat when told to do so by Ms. K., they will potentially get marked absent, and they will receive no credit for attendance and they will lose participation points.


Gross disrepect of the rules of the computer lab, which includes damaging school property, causing harm to students or teachers, verbally assaulting or physically assaulting the students or teachers, and their property, and being out of one's assigned seat without permission, eating and drinking, leaving papers and garbage at the computers, chewing gum at the computers, not logging off and shutting down and clearing one's space and pushing one's chair in under the desk five minutes prior to the end of class, and not returning the text or other materials to their collection points, will result in calls home and a failing grade. No one touches the phone, nor any items without direct instruction and permission from Ms. K.
