We started off the day with BDTH 1.22. After that, we looked at annotated articles by Mrs. Riley and found many common factors that she uses to annotate. We then picked our own article in this week’s folder to annotate ourselves using the skimming and scanning technique. She then gave us time to fully annotate our article. This article will be used for our research essay next quarter!

Collaborate skimming Mrs.Riley’s articles

Everyone listening to Mrs.Riley’s instructions! 

Instructions for annotating your article.

Post Check In

Remember y’all – the point of this is to keep a running log of what we are doing in class. It is intended to be a resource that you can use if you are absent. So try to be as specific as possible.

Take screenshots of assignments or the daily agenda. Find links that could help students out for what we are doing that day. For example, if we are annotating FDR’s Four Freedoms speech, some links that may help you can be found here:

September, 3rd

Today, Mrs. Riley was absent due to Covid and we also had block scheduling. Due to her absence, there was no Batten Down the Hatches and we were to work on three assignments for today.

First, we were to write a 300 word reflection on our Extended Metaphor Essay. Second, we had to log onto Gimkit and do the assignment under the assignment tab. Third, we had to make a Freerice account at www.freerice.com, join the group with the code: Q9SEERCK, and play the game.

The class has a total of 1 hour and 38 minutes to complete these 3 tasks. The reflection is due on September, 4th at 11:59 PM. We hope Captain Riley makes a speedy recovery!
