Qtr 2 Week 3 Day 4 - UN Day

Sorry for the late post.
H/W
Math Study Link 5.4 and IXL L.2 and Persuasive Writing P3s

I am very hopeful that I will be able to look into sharepoint and see your individual files listed there by the end of the evening. - Make me smile!

I would like people to reflect on the productivity of group work. What do we need to change to make sure that groups are working more effectively?

You should be creating your p3s for your personal persuasive piece. Make sure you are applying the techniques we are learning. Avoid weak language and keep control of your sentence fluency. You should have nine p3 sentences in total.

Qtr 2 Week 4 Day 3 UN Day Preparation

You must finish your section tonight for the UN presentation. This might mean finishing your powerpoint slide or recording and saving your video portion.  (People can record videos in school tomorrow, but what you are going to say must be completely read. Make sure you practice using PEX and BEVES). You must save the slides in the correct order on sharepoint in class tomorrow.

Use http://www.befunky.com/   to make your images/jpeg owerpoint slides amazing. Takes seconds to learn how to use. DON'T go over the top. Remember, people need to clearly understand your point in a few seconds

Look at this DRAFT video copy of a reading caption. What is being done well? What aspects need to be improved upon  for the final version?

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'.

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.
