11-26-2007 (B Day) Happenings

We reviewed the Packer Contest and checked for supplies. Students worked cooperatively on answering the Tracking a Hurricane Questions. We then reviewed them as a class and I explained elements related to tracking a hurricane. Students filled out the Hurricane Newspaper Role Request Sheet. I selected editors and created teams. Students spent a brief amount of time completing RIF. I assigned a hurricane and affected city to each newspaper team. Each team then reviewed their role and began researching their city and hurricane.

Assignment
  • Research online 5 facts about your assigned city and 5 facts about your assigned hurricane. (DUE Wednesday)
  • Read and respond to the blog entry Star Tribune Article--Reading's New Chapter? (DUE Wednesday)
  • Check the blog daily and complete any tasks that are added.
  • Bring all supplies to class.
All extra credit assignments are optional.
Please remember that all handouts can be downloaded and printed out at www.edline.net.
