Wednesday, March 18th E-Learning

I have some new activities for today. As always, you can continue to work on Reflex Math, Typing Club, Tynker, any of the math or ELA games from my webpage or blog. Keep reading the books you have at home, or use Epic to continue reading digitally.

Remember to plan out your day. Do an assignment. Take a mental break (go outdoors, listen to music, play a board game – whatever you need.) Then come back and tackle another assignment. That seems to be the best approach and one where you can get the most out of your day! Any questions? Write them here: E-Learning Questions

I have been reviewing your literary essays on Ruby the Copycat. It looks like we need to review a few things.  I made a Screencastify to point out the different structures and development of such an essay. I used a student’s writing piece from a few years ago to show as an example. Make sure to expand the screen so it appears larger, then press play. I will show another one if you find this helpful. You may also find this video in your drive to review. Please let me know if you would like another example on the E-Learning padlet.

Poetry

A new genre of study. Poetry can be very different and possibly more challenging than reading prose, or the typical way you read text in books or articles. While prose is organized into paragraphs, poetry is organized into stanzas.

Check out, “The Wind”.  I made a Google Slides presentation to view the poem and the questions.  I would suggest printing the poem, so it is easier to answer the questions.  Type your answers in the E-Learning Slideshow in the ELA section with the heading “The Wind” and today’s date.
