Monday -
No School - Memorial Day!
HW - Have a
nice day.
Tuesday -
Time to finish the book notes
for the Earth Movement project
in Outline Format.
I will begin
to score the textbook notes, everyone has to do them. Here's
how I will score them:
6 to 8 pgs in outline format = A
4 to 6 pgs in outline format = B
2 to 4 pgs in outline format = C
4 to 6 pgs NOT in outline format = C
This grading
scale is based on having had four days (5/20, 21, 22 & 27),
40 minutes a day, to read, summarize and take the notes. Two pages
of notes per day is considered excellent work.
HW - Research
your topic at home for extra info or make-up any missing work
from weeks 1 to 5. Use
the Earth
Movement webpage to
conduct research at home (I'm out of extra books because the
other grade levels are using them too). Notes need to be in
outline format.
Wednesday
- Today we will
block the Wyatt and Meacham classes. Their goal is to finish taking
notes off of the Internet and to begin storyboarding their website.
To do that, they will need to use the earthquake and volcano information
they have plotted to answer the Earth
Movement questions.
I will begin
to score the Internet notes today. In each group, the recorder
is responsible for writing what the other team members dictate.
Here's how I will score them:
2 to 3 pgs in outline format = A
1 to 2 pgs in outline format = B
2 to 3 pgs NOT in outline format = B
1 to 2 pgs NOT in outline format = C
This grading
scale is based on team effort. If teams work together, they can
sift through the websites I've found for them and summarize the
information for the recorder.
