Period 2 8:56 – 9:38 - 6th grade Spanish in the computer lab
Period 3 -10:12 – 10:54 7th grade Spanish will be in Mr Monihan’s room
Period 4 10:56 – 11:38 world cultures will be in the computer lab
6th grade Spanish, Period 2 8:56 – 9:38: Class E white days/ Class D blue days
Same lesson as yesterday for the other group…All their materials are found in their folders. Each day, please pass out the manila folders that are located in the cubbie in my office. They are labled blue and white days…Students have colored their folders so they should be able to find them easily if you bring them out into the classroom. Make sure they put all their materials back into their folders and put the folders back into the cubbie for the following day.
Activity I – students do not need their folders today, you will be in the computer lab. First start by brainstorming on the whiteboard (BRING A MARKER…Often there is no marker there) in the computer lab, aspects of culture such as language or education or geography/climate. Try to make logical groupings in the bubbles…such as geographical features/climate/ location all seem to go together well. (5-10 minutes..while their computers are warming up) Then have students choose 2 topics that they want to study. They can work with someone if they like and maybe do 3 areas.
Activity II –Have them go online to find as much info as they can about their subjects areas for ARGENTINA (tomorrow will be the Mexico group again). They should write 2-4 of their own sentences about each subject. Please remind them that copying and pasting text from the internet is not OK. They should look for visuals only AFTER they have their text. The visuals should support their text…(they always love to look for the visuals first) IF they know how to do google presentations they should put their info into that format and share with me. If not, just have them put it into a doc and share.
7th Grade Spanish, Period 3 -10:12 – 10:54: Mr Monihan’s room
Still working on the three items…translating my dialog, taping themselves saying my dialog and writing their own dialog. (If there are students that want to wrap up their letters that is OK too… I will be in to collect what is finished at three this afternoon…I am hoping to pick up all the translations at that point.
Please pull up the plan for May 17th on the website and I have updated the power point as well.
Enrichment world cultures Period 4 10:56 – 11:38 in the computer lab which is on the first floor inside the library.
Most students have found most of their information about their state/region and shared with me…(A few don’t seem to have shared, and Rowen has shared as a “read only file” which means I can’t comment on it…could you ask him to change that if he can) They have started to compare the culture of their region (or state) in the US to Vermont , but could go a lot further. And there are very few “fun facts”. You will be in the computer lab for today again, but tomorrow they will be presenting to the class about their state/region up in Jim’s room. They should read the whole assignment document because I have added some things.
They should wrap up the whole assignment…No one has really taken this to the extent they could (although Rowen is close) The final piece that I have added is to explain whether they would or would not like to live in their state/region and WHY or WHY NOT.
