February 18, 2016: Goal Setting

We will begin with reading and tracking our reading, and a housekeeping item: Acceptable User Agreement.

After reading, we will do Writing Prompt #1 and revise.

Today, we are going to set some semester goals for ourselves. You will decide on four goals including your mark, a learning skill, an English skill, and a growth mindset goal.

We will then create a plan for each goal, using the long-term goal planning tool.

To prepare for class tomorrow, please collect digital images to create your handshake video.

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.

Read your independent novel for 20 mins.

Those on devices: (2 Tables closest to window)

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. (Bookmark this page!)

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. (Go to “FILE” and “MAKE A COPY”

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 (Handout)

3) Write: Prompt #1 (Handout)
