Qtr 2 Week 4 Day 2 UN Day Preparation

Complete your research on your UN Day author. You must come to school with precise and concrete ideas of what information you want to present and how you want to present it about your author. Remember:
1)You are presenting the author NOT the book. In class tomorrow, you will have to synthesize your ideas as a group to form your author presentation.
2)Think 'persuasively'.

Math
Unit 5.1 Study link and Math Box 5.1
IXL Unit L.1 (I will be checking. Make sure this is done)

Some people need to finish their weekly blog post or IMPROVE on it. Read Maya's weekly reflection to see how this should be done! Comment on people's work on their blog if you get the chance.

Rachel L said...

just to clarify when you mean we need to get IXL done does that mean master?

zmash said...

Caroline said...

yes Rachel

Caroline said...

Will group 3 help decide what words I do tomorrow? I have 14. Hopefully that is not too much. So do I choose now or we choose tomorrow?

Caroline said...

No zach, just do the part you were supposed to do. Don't actually put it together yet.

Caroline said...

Group 3, I am going to make a wallwisher for our author thing. I will put it on the blog when I have it.

Maddy Z said...

Caroline - We'll choose tomorrow as a group, but if you want to, you can start thinking about your best ones and which ones you're gonna use for it.

My group for the UN day author thing - I will try to do as much research as I can for tomorrow, but I am not feeling well at all so IF I don't come to school tomorrow I will send my stuff to someone or post in on my blog.

I hope I do come to school tomorrow, though.

Team one in UN day. my job is to find places she wrote about, could it be in a book Mahy wrote?

berrysweetπ said...

Does anybody know what it means when it says main idea and details about the author? I don't get it. wouldn't the main idea be her writing books and being a world famous , international author?

Unknown said...

Han embedit.in

anisha - an opinion + support evidence

berrysweetπ said...

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh............... okay! i thought it would be werid if that what i had to research, goes that is ambigious.

berrysweetπ said...

mr buxton for margaret mahy, neither jacqueline nor I could find pictures of where she lives. I mean, she writes in her bedrooom, so how are we supposed to get that? or even her house i can't seem to find. next thing, the only thing, is to just find a picture of New Zealand

berrysweetπ said...

oh my goodness! at first, i really didn't want to do Margaret Mayh, but now, since I know she wrote the 7 chinese brothers, i really want to read more! i love the story of the 7 chinese brothers! Hey! That's exactly what team one needs!
