Review of Day 2 Online Learning

English - Students have all prepared their Passion Presentation and decided what they will say for each slide. They also completed a writing prompt on "Change"

Individuals and Societies (Social Studies) - Students this week have been looking at the History of Ancient Mesopotamia and the languages they used. They wrote their name in Cunieform.

Science - Students are working on the new unit Energy and complete the first two lessons. In lesson two, the students learned about the 10 energy types we will be using during the unit and had to match the correct descriptors to the energy type in a Google Document on Google Classroom.

Math - Before the online lessons started students had 2 lessons on making 6 slides in Google Classroom about Ratio, Rates and Unit rates to show their understanding. Students will have 3 online lessons to make 3 videos with screencastify to present their slides. This is their Criterion C summative for Mathematics about communicating.
