2-21-2008 (A Day) Happenings

I welcomed students and took attendance. I checked for supplies and the FBI-Safe Online Surfing Internet Scavenger Hunt. Students competed in the FBI-SOS Internet Challenge. I checked Part 4 of the Verbal, Vocal & Nonverbal Messages Television Assignment in the blue Communication Packet, students paired and shared about their homework and we discussed as a class. Students then watched and took notes on It's Not What You Say. The remainder of the block was spent filling out the Communication Review Sheet in preparation for the upcoming 50 point Communication Test.
