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.

  10. 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.
