Thursday, November 30, 2017 (Day 4)

ELA 9B

The students who have their SGI customer numbers had a chance to practice logging in on a school computer.  If you don't have a customer number yet it is important to set-up and activate your account at home.  Remember your user name and password and test it at school prior to Monday.  We found out it is not always as easy at it seems but after a couple of phone calls to SGI we got most people sorted out.

We also read chapter 9 and 10 of "The Outsiders."  Students have questions on those chapters, which we'll have some more time to work on next class.

FRENCH 8B

Three students were in the Chaise Chaud.  We discussed the Song Analysis they did last day.  The students also had a chance to see their ER verb quiz. There won't be a reassessment for this quiz as there will be a cumulative quiz of ER, IR, and RE verbs at the end of this term.  We also did a reading activity.  We reviewed the following strategies to help you read in French:
1.  Look for words that are similar to English.
2.  Look for words that you already know.
3.  Pictures
4.  Say the words aloud.
5.  Does it make sense with the topic.

ELA 9B

The students read for 10 minutes.  The students who have their SGI customer numbers had a chance to practice logging in on a school computer.  If you don't have a customer number yet it is important to set-up and activate your account at home.  Remember your user name and password and test it at school prior to Monday.  We found out it is not always as easy at it seems.

Next the students used dictionary.com to find definitions for 16 words.  Then they did activities to confirm the meaning of each word and we corrected.  From now on we will be doing this task once in each six day cycle to improve students' knowledge and usage of vocabulary.  We are correcting Lesson 1 tomorrow so it is homework if not done today.  Most students also had time to update their websites.
