Class activites for Thursday, April 10

Spelling: Today students created their Words to Learn lists from the words they missed on the last spelling test.

Cursive: Ten cursive sentences of at least seven words each are due Friday.

Reading: Today was a discussion day in Literature Circles.

Writing: Students continued to work on their I-Search projects (click here for more details) by collecting research on their I-Search 2008 class wiki pages, planning their presentations using webs created with Bubbl.us, and searching UnitedStreaming for related video clips and images. I also demonstrated how to use MrHowd.com Google Docs (docs.mrhowd.com) to create a presentation that can be edited from school and home.

A summary of the project:

Students will research their I-Search question using print and internet sources and create a digital presentation using PowerPoint or MrHowd.com Google Docs presentation software. Students are collecting their research on our I-Search 2008 class wiki. Later, students will present their findings to other students who sign up to attend their talk. The presentation slides will be turned in to portfolios for a writing grade.

The I-Search presentation is due April 25.

Math: We reviewed right, acute and obtuse angles and played a game to review for the test on Monday over estimating, rounding and multiplication.

Science: None on Thursdays due to library.

Social Studies: We reviewed the French and Indian War SQ3R organizer and discussed our Mackinac trip coming up next month.
