Week of Nov 4 - 8

Hi Friends!

I trust you're all "hopped up" on candy! I know I am... :)

Just a few things to note for this coming week:

Japan Exhibits >  BOTH classes will have time to build/construct on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Please ensure that you have a plan on how you will manage your time and have conferenced with me about what things you need me to support you with. 

By the end of the week, we will transition into the written component. This means that our classroom will no longer look like a construction zone (haha) and we will be learning about how to properly "build" an informative piece of text.

Friendly reminder that Edict responses will be due at the end of this week (Nov 8).

This was an ongoing task, but I'd like to wrap it up. The supplemental documents can be found in your class' Google Share Folder.

If you've not yet submitted your Letter to the Shogun, or Urban Legend (Written + Podcast/Audio File) - it's now late.  So, we should probably chat on Monday.

Enjoy the weekend friends! And remember, I like Oh Henrys ;)

Update: Friday Nov 8

Hi friends, As you know, Edict responses were due today ! You were meant to have submitted hard copy versions (handwritten/typed) into your corresponding class' drop box (up near SmartBoard). Today was the second opportunity you had to work on your written rationales for the Exhibit artifacts. Remember, EACH STUDENT is required to submit an informative piece of text along with the build, your blueprints, and any other planning documents you may have. I have provided you with some very specific prompts -- please refer your class' Share Folder for this task. You should also be working on your Hockey Hero task, as I will be looking for this to be completed by Weds, Nov 13. Please come chat to me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns :) Happy weekend folks. -Mrs. Lockyer
