Support

• Look over your observations, work, and notes in your notebook especially when examples with thought process are listed

• Reread that section in your textbook OR the uploaded notes from the class calendar

• Contact classmates in Google Classroom to discuss HOW to work on problem - don't go for a quick answer but understand HOW to get the answer

• Come get support - Zoom meeting, come in at lunch, or make an after school appointment

• Review the engineering cycle to see what step you need to relook at to improve your project

* Remind your group that each person should be collaborating

* Group collaboration is a skill you will work on for the rest of your life ... which is why you get to reflect on each member for a grade - be honest and grade them for their work, not their friendship

• Review examples online - FOCUS on thought process, not answers with CrashCourse; Khan Academy; Herrington's YouTube; ChemCollective Tutorials

• Tech issues: cleaning cache video; reset password link

• Remind your student that they can ask Ms H for help: in person help, email, text, or get a zoom meeting

* You can always email Ms H and ask for good questions in a unit

* All notes are digitally accessible through the class calendar for you as well as your student 

• Your student should have a textbook which will have main topics defined with examples

• Listed on the left are ideas for students to use - I hope they learn these ideas now to empower themselves to learn beyond this class

• Ask your student EMPOWERING questions:

*How did your teacher start solving a problem like this?

*Explain to me the steps you need to take in order to solve this problem?

*What portion of the problem is confusing you? If it is vocabulary, what does that term mean?

*What do the units of the question tell you must be included in solving this problem?

*What are the common mistakes on this type of problem discussed in class?

*Is one of your classmates not doing their part? Have you given them a timeline for their part?
