Due Thursday:
- Read chapters 1-4 in FDR. Answer the comprehension questions for chapter 4 on the handout.
Due Monday:
- Your poem memorized and ready to recite for the entire class. Use the Poetry Recitation guide to understand what you will be graded on. (Scroll to previous post for that handout.)
- 4 visits and 4 blog posts. Begin to brainstorm what issue/problem is your main one. That problem/issue will be the one you focus on for the Teach-In.
Teach-In:
- This is on April 29, 2009
- Each group will be presenting a substantial presentation to 5-7 graders.
- Each group will also run a fun, hands-on activity related to their topic. Think cooking activities, art/building projects, educational games!!!!! Almost like a 45-60 minute Minimester.
- Begin brainstorming about what YOU are going to do!
- Lastly, students will also be a part of a set-up group that will help to decorate the school and do other things prior to the Teach-In. More Later!!!
Finally,
I will give a test on Friday to the substitute that will cover some basic questions from every part of the 3rd quarter work. You may want to review what we’ve done so far starting at winter break. I need this grade to add to your test grades this quarter. (April Fools!!!!)
