Carlyle English 150 **Class Log Assignment ** A scribe is an official who records or documents the activities for the court. For this assignment, you will be the scribe for the class. You need to take careful notes of what occurs in class, type up and expand on these notes to include your own reactions and reflections, and then post them to our class wiki. **All posts must be on the Class Log** **within 24 hours of the class**

The purpose: To keep a detailed record or archive of our class activities To help those who were absent to catch on the missed work and prepare for homework To help fellow students review an important concept or reading and see the class from another’s perspective To make sure everyone knows what to do for homework!

 I will read and grade these notes like I do a reading response. However, the people who will be reading and making the most out of your notes are your fellow students: they are your audience.

To earn full credit, your scribe post should include:
 * **the day’s announcements ** (key things to be aware of; changes to the calendar etc.)
 * **the agenda for the class **(usually posted on board)
 * **details of the learning activities **<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 12pt;">. This is a very important section. Details are key to writing up good notes: what did we do? what steps were involved? what prompts did we write on? what did we discuss? what were the most important points in our discussions? Include any notes from the board.
 * **<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 12pt;">any handouts used or distributed in class **
 * **<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 12pt;">the homework of the day **
 * **<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 12pt;">a sense of what you learned **<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> and **what you think is important to know** about this particular class (what do you think about what we did?)

<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Each student must complete one scribe post. Feel free to add images or graphics, and design your post so it is appealing and easy for your audience to read. <span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 12pt;">If you would normally have a note-take or if you have a disability that prevents you from accomplishing this assignment, I will come up with an alternative assignment for you.
