6th Grade Science

Monday - Today we will decide who will do what part of the research for the letter to the Governor.

Students will continue their research and note-taking for the volcanology writing project from the book as we practice the RUN section of the SCAN & RUN reading strategy and "click or clunk".

HW - No homework assigned.

Tuesday - Students will continue their research and note-taking for the volcanology writing project from the book. I taught a lesson on using my class computers. Here is what we covered in class today:

  1. Don't touch others' folders (no moving, renaming or opening).
  2. Move chairs slowly to and from computer stations so the legs don't get caught up on Ethernet wires.
  3. Check the hard drive for your computer's name.
  4. Use the Apple Menu to access the programs.
  5. Use the Internet Dictionary for Word Wizarding.
  6. No need to search, use my sites instead.
  7. Bookmark my site at home!
  8. Start taking notes (we SCANNED one website to save time).

Then students began taking notes from the Internet.

HW - No homework assigned unless students want to start their rough draft early.

Wednesday - Today we will begin a rough draft of the letter to the Governor as students finish up their notes. (See volcanology writing project for info.)

We will continue to practice/review the SCAN & RUN reading strategy from time to time.

HW - Finish your rough draft.

Thursday - Students will revise their rough draft of the letter they are writing the Governor for the volcanology writing project and begin their first drafts.

Today is the deadline to get notes. I will grade the notes today for participation.

HW - Finish your first draft.

Friday - Students will peer edit their first draft of the letter they are writing the Governor for the volcanology writing project and begin their second drafts.

HW - Finish your second draft. Rough draft, 1st draft AND Second draft are all due together on Monday, Oct 7.

If you haven't been doing your homework, do your rough draft, rewrite it adding and changing to make it better, then have a parent or older sibling edit it, then finally rewrite it for the last time. Use the rubric as you revise!

 

8th Grade Computers 2

This week: Students are still working on their practice websites.

Then they will finalize the storyboard for the main project.

This week I'm giving points for the work done last week (those who were off task, cannot get full credit). I'm also giving credit for being on-task this week because too many students are starting to work less and socialize more.

Email me if you have any questions or concerns.
