1st day of school!
Welcome to class! Seating chart was made available--subject to change throughout this week :) Journal: Which of the learner profile characteristics do you think best describe you? Why? Which of the learner profile characteristics would you like to work on this year as an improvement goal? Why? How will you do this? In-Class: Physicist icebreaker; IB learner profile discussion; Student survey (if time permits--could be done at home) Student Survey Instructions:
HW: Register for WebAssign (find the class key HERE) no later than Tuesday, September 8 Add this class to your turnitin.com account (class ids HERE) no later than Tuesday, September 8 complete student survey (see above for directions)--due Thursday Complete Journal entry (due tomorrow) Journal Expectations--entries (all year long) will be written in a composition book. Each entry must include the following: The date written; the question/prompt written clearly; your answer written clearly and completely; Draw a horizontal line after the journal entry to separate it from the next one. |

Journal #2: no journal in-class; HW = journal entry--see below
In-Class: Get textbook; Discussion on Respectful Student Discourse; HW: Think about the last 3 questions for the discussion we started today. In your journal, jot down some ideas to help jump start the discussion around prompts to ask for clarification, ask for evidence, and to add on to a classmate's idea. Here's the presentation with some guiding questions that we'll be talking about in class tomorrow |
