Today I am in the building, but not in the class.

We need to share one cart between two classes. This means that we have 10 devices every day.

We will all read and track our reading every day. Then some of us will work on devices and some of us will work on our reading and writing.

Here is a schedule for when you will have access to a device.

Read your independent novel for 20 mins.

Those on devices:

1) Update your reading tracking sheet. Make sure you add in all the pages read since the last time you updated it.

2) Go to the assignment tracking sheet to see what you should have done by now.

3) Work on your Global Perspectives editing. Use this sheet to guide you. When you are done, submit the sheet via the Assignment Submission page (found on this blog).

Remember, when using online docs, make a copy of the document so that you can write on it.

4) Choose a second page to edit. Review the sign-up sheet to be sure no one else has chosen the same page.

Those without devices:

1) Update your reading tracking sheet. Make sure you add in all the pages read since the last time you updated it.

2) Complete Reading Log #1

3) Write: Prompt #1

Today we will set our reading rates.

You want to establish a weekly goal and track your reading progress.

I hope that today you will be able to log into Sesame and record that reading goal.

I will be introducing the wiki–Global Perspectives: A textbook for teens by teens. We will make a note about audience, purpose, conventions of the wiki (or web) page, and design elements. Finally, you will go on a wiki page scavenger hunt.

You will find the scavenger hunt here.
