- Day 1 8:20 AM- 8:50 AM
- Day 2 8:20 AM- 8:50 AM
6A Notes: This is homework for the grade 6 classes I teach.
1. Terry Fox Fundraising donations. Tomorrow is our run day!
2. 20 minutes of reading.
3. MMS pages 20-21. Save the game on page 21 for class tomorrow.
4. Good copy of Future paragraph. We had 20 minutes to work on that in class today.
5. The Othello Stratford trip form is due by September 26. I hope students will return their information sooner if possible. The students should return the second page of the form and keep the first page so they have information about the trip. If students are planning NOT to attend the trip, please give me some idea of your plans for that day (e.g., "I am staying home to go to an appointment/a track race/a tournament", or "I am not going, but coming to school that day".) I need notice to make plans to house students in another class that day if they are not coming. I really hope everyone can make it.
8F Notes: This is homework for the grade 8 class I teach.
We did not meet today. The homework is the same as on Tuesday.
a) 20 minutes of reading.
b) I announced yesterday that students should start settling on a tweet that they could analyze in class in a short oral presentation of 1-2 minutes. The first presenters were informed yesterday of their presentation date next Tuesday. We will have about three presenters per day and a schedule and success criteria will be shared next class and the schedule is now posted outside my door (room 365).
Considerations:
- providing identifying context about the tweeter
- explaining the overt meaning of the tweet
- outlining how we could use it to develop digital literacy skills (such as judgement, truthfulness, distinguishing opinion from fact, critical thinking/critical literacy)by considering the implied meanings
Students should share an image an the short written work with me to my Google Drive (not the classroom). If this process is unclear, I am available at extra help times to provide coaching on how to do it.
Tuesday HW

3. MMS duo-tang pages 18-19.
4. Future paragraph rough draft on page 11 of the Future notebook. Students should use a cluster of ideas on the same topic. These clusters come from the chart at the bottom of page 10, which represents the sorted brainstorm ideas from the same page.

a) 20 minutes of reading.
b) I announced today that students should start settling on a tweet that they could analyze in class in a short oral presentation of 1-2 minutes. The first presenters would begin next Tuesday, continuing o in successive classes, and receive plenty of notice of their dates. The focus is on:
- providing identifying context
- explaining the meaning of the tweet
- outlining how we could use it to develop digital literacy skills (such as judgement, truthfulness, distinguishing opinion from fact, critical thinking/critical literacy)
