I'm pleased with the work that you've accomplished, knowledge that you've gained, strategies that you've learned, and so much more! In any event, it's that time of the semester again wherein we need to finalize all remaining course requirements. By now all assignments that you've submitted throughout the semester should have been graded. If I missed anything, please let me know as soon as possible.

If you haven't caught up, it is imperative that you communicate with me immediately. I have made considerations on a case-by-case basis with the understanding that quality work will be submitted.

----------
Be sure to also keep up with your blogging, as it is part of our online collaboration. You must reply/comment on your classmates' postings/entries as well.

As you know, I modified the lengthy LiveText Portfolio designing/submission in order to meet the needs of those who require additional time to complete the rest of the course requirements. Therefore, with regards to LiveText, you will only be required to submit the main artifact, namely the SIOP lesson plan, which was due on April 11, 2013. You may submit this in LiveText now, if you haven't already.

Good luck, keep me posted, and I'll see you on Thursday!

All the best,
Dr. Rivera
