Science: Did our first jigsaw not-taking for the electricity unit on pages 298-30. No homework.
Geometry: Went over the Law of Sine & Cosine homework, students are reminded that in order to earn credit they must at least ATTEMPT each problem, which involves writing at least something done as evidence of an attempt. Leaving a problem completely blank does not prove to me that the problem has been attempted. Chapter 7 practice test is homework.
Spanish I: First part of vocab quiz 2.2 is this week. You must take it by this Friday.
ELA : students were given the hour to read, define vocabulary words, and fill out their TKM packet.

ELA - Students took their TKM chapters 7-9 quiz, then moved on to work on their Persuasive Research Essays. For Day 6 of the Writer's Workshop, students revisited the articles we read on Wednesday and located the opposing view. Three out of four of the articles were for raising the driving age so students needed to find in that article the place where the author acknowledged the other side's view. They then practiced writing statements that were for and against specific "teen issues", and finally they looked back at the views they wrote about on Wednesday and found specific facts that disproved the opposing view. It is important that they recognize that there is an opposing view to their opinion, and also be able to find facts that "debunk" the opposing view. Homework: Read
Tech (Kennedy): Students took a typing test (hand covered) on Typingweb.com. They then cleaned up and completed any Moodle Assignments from the week that are not completed. Assignments due this week:
Rule of the e Road - Forum Post
Copyright Challenge Quiz certificate printed and handed in

Finding My Place in the World - Managing Your Career - Forum Post
Applying Technology Skills and Information - Building Computer Skills - Forum Post
This can all be viewed from home as Moodle is a web-based online classroom program.
