6A Notes: This is homework for the grade 6 class I teach.
1. Test packs were handed out last week. Please have a parent sign the top page and correct where necessary. These were due Monday and some are still outstanding.
2. The Pourquoi Tale activity has been assigned with a handout that contains an example of a story, the traits of the genre, and a planner for a student story. There is room for a rough draft by hand as well, which all students have to complete before typing a good copy in class.
3. MMS pages 52-53 and text page 130 # 1 to 8..
4. There will be a Math quiz on Lessons 1 to 5 of Unit 4 on Wednesday February 19.
5. HDI Social Studies presentations began Monday and continue this week.
* It is necessary to share your slideshow with me before school starts so that we can conduct the presentations.
We discussed in class what would be necessary for a good presentation:
- "Active Slides" delivery (not reading the slide verbatim to the class).
- Guiding questions (about 2 per slide).
- Adding extra information that is not included on each slide.
- Pointing out the key details on each slide. These should be about 1-3 details per slide.
- Eye contact and verbal expression.
Some independent rehearsal is necessary.
a) 20 minutes of reading.
b) Short Story assignment group drama presentation to plan.
c) Test packs were handed out last week, and online assignments have been returned in the Google Classroom with marks, correction, and comment. Please have a parent sign the top page and return the test pack to class. Most of these were not returned in class Monday, which was the due date.
