Wednesday, September 20, 2017 (Day 6)

Grade 7's

Both classes (during Careers and French respectively) were introduced to Computer use at UCHS.  We reviewed carrying laptops, logging on, opening a document, saving a document, e-mail  and logging off.  The information shared can be found in the following slideshow:

ELA 9B

The students read for ten minutes and then had time to work on their sonnets.  Yesterday I started a sonnet on the topic of Hooded Sweatshirts.  This is my finished product:

Hooded Sweatshirt Sonnet
By Miss Riddell

When the weather starts to get chillier
Sporting t-shirts is inappropriate
Wearing a tank top even sillier 
But a cozy bunny hug would be great
Maybe one in red or yellow or blue
One with a crazy logo or just plain
In purple and green or a rainbow hue
Neon striped tartan, now that is insane
I'm not creating a fashion statement 
I am just really trying to stay warm 
I don't want to spend the dollars and cents 
My bank account balance can't stand the harm 
I'll wear an old hoodie with pouch and sleeves
To keep warm as I trudge through the fall leaves

The students need to have at least the first 8 lines done for tomorrow.  They will have some class time to finish up their sonnet and post it on Google Classroom.

COMPUTERS 8

Today was the student's last day to work on their Privacy/Security Plan.  They also had time to start showing what they know about Microsoft Word.

ELA 9A

The students read for ten minutes.  We then watched a Prezi on writing sonnets.  The students each received a topic and started to brainstorm what they will write in their sonnet.  Sonnets are 14 line poems that have 10 syllables in each line and a specific rhyme scheme.  My example topic was: homework.
