We completed watching a film called Stand and Deliver.  It was based on a Math teacher, Jaime Escalante, who worked at Garfield High in East Los Angeles, CA.  Here is a short tribute about him:

It was his teaching methods, zest, enthusiasm, and desire which made me decide to become a teacher and educator.  I will use some of the messages in this clip for a journal exercise.

Time was provided, in class, for students to complete outstanding work (Spelling, Study Sheets for Math, and History) but a number of students still have not completed work. 

For those completing the Journal, I have created a sample that might help guide the writing process.

HOMEWORK:  Journal response to question on worries, Grade 8 Exponential Math questions, CHOICES For 9 forms for Grade 8 students,
