IVB – 9/2/14

by

After a three day absence, Captain Riley is finally back! To be honest, I’m really regretting being gone for so long on the first week of school, but a teacher’s gotta do what a teacher’s do. Yo.

I’m not sure I’ll get back entries for the days I was gone last week, but everything is in Blackboard.

In the Carpe Diem section, click on the Seize the Day folder. Read the story for Lingerie and follow the directions. Pretty easy. All you have to do is find ONE WORD. That’s IT!

We watched Mr. Keating creep his students out in a clip From Dead Poets Society and then we did the Carpe Diem Translation Tower.

You will read the four sentences, and then translate each sentence in your own thought. Add some clip art. Riley explained what it mean to strain the wine by showing a snippet from a video about pruno. She also serenaded the class to Doris Day’s song Que Sera Sera.

Make sure you have clip art! You may need to resize the font. Then cut thusly:

And then fold/glue.

Make sure your name is on the foldable and leave it on my desk.

Sadly, we did NOT get to read the poem, but we will do that tomorrow.

After a three day absence, Captain Riley is finally back! To be honest, I’m really regretting being gone for so long on the first week of school, but a teacher’s gotta do what a teacher’s do. Yo.

I’m not sure I’ll get back entries for the days I was gone last week, but everything is in Blackboard.

The first thing we did today was colored a map of British Isles – everything we read in this class is from this place, so we may as well figure look at where our literature is coming from.

Map of British IslesIf you fill this map out, you can use it on the final exam.

I set you up into groups based on your Nature and Demeanors from yesterday. Each group member picked a card: Peanut, Butter, or Jelly.

We printed the Anglo-Saxon History (Peanut, Butter, Jelly) into OneNote. Except if you  had a group of four. Then one person was Time. We are not going to read this all individually ourselves, we are going to split up the work within our group. The sections you are responsible for are listed on the back of your card.

Read your sections, highlighting what you think are the important notes. If you need help or just want to double check to make sure that you got the best information, call me over so I can double check it.

Once you have read all of your sections, then you can DRAW your notes. You will draw each section on an index card for a total of three index cards.

If you missed today, if you go to Beowulf < Peanut Butter Jelly Time, you will see the map of where we are. You can print this out and fill it in. Here is a completed map:

Now that we know where we are, I set you up into groups based on your Nature and Demeanors from yesterday. Each group member picked a card: Peanut, Butter, or Jelly.

We printed the Anglo-Saxon History (Peanut, Butter, Jelly) into OneNote. Except Shelby. She was Time. We are not going to read this all individually ourselves, we are going to split up the work within our group. The sections you are responsible for are listed on the back of your card.

Read your sections, highlighting what you think are the important notes. If you need help or just want to double check to make sure that you got the best information, call me over so I can double check it.

Once you have read all of your sections, then you can DRAW your notes. You will draw each section on an index card for a total of three index cards.

Tomorrow, you will teach your groups members the information, make a poster, and take a group test over the information (using your notes and text).
