12-3-2007 (A Day) Happenings

We reviewed the Packer Contest and I checked supplies. Ms. Elliott, VVMS Librarian, gave a presentation on How to Conduct Research Effectively and Efficiently. She showed the class several resources that can be found at the Valley View Middle School Media Center Website. I then introduced wikis. We watched Wikis in Plan English. I also showed the class wikipedia.com and then introduced the LRT wiki (mrbuckleyslrtwiki.pbwiki.com) and explained the wiki assignment to be completed. Students spent the remainder of the block working on their Hurricane Newspaper project.

Assignment
  • Answer the poll question, What do you use to record your LRT homework?
  • Go to mrbuckleyslrtwiki.pbwiki.com and click on Hurricane Unit. Complete the Wiki Assignment City and Hurricane Initial Information activity for your group's city and hurricane. Remember that you must enter the password (packers) to make changes. (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.
