Class Activities

Good Morning!  Mr. Bosch and I are at our conference meetings by the time you are reading this.  Hopefully we are learning some exciting new technology learning activities.  Remember that we have high expectations for you to do your best today in every way.  Here are the things you need to do today:

1.  Scroll down this page and look in the Links box on the left.  Play the Vocabulary Quia 3 times. 

2.  Take your vocabulary quiz and put it in the basket.

3.  Open PowerPoint.  Go to File, Open, GH drive, and open the ELA folder.  At the bottom of the dialogue box look at the Files of Type line.  Use your drop-down arrow to select All Files. Then open the Great Leads PPT.  Carefully read through this by yourself and think about the questions.

4.  Open Open Mind 2 and open your Digital Story Web.  Look through each one of your branches (the ones above the frames branches) and see if you have text notes for each one, except Genre, which has a sub-branch.  Read through the notes to see if you have been detailed enough.  When they are great, go to your Frame 1 branch.  You are to write in the text note editor and finally begin writing your story.Remember to start your story with a great lead that will capture your audience’s attention. Write everything that you need to say about the beginning of the story that will go with your storyboard frame 1. 

5.  Go to branch Frame 2 and continue writing your story.  Continue working/writing your way through the frames to tell the rest of your story.  Remember the sequence of events in your story.

6.  SAVE and close Open Mind.  I am proud of your hard work!!  You are doing an awesome job.

If you finish writing your story, look in the Links box on the left and click on Native American Legends.  Read some of these great stories.
