Welcome to Term 2!

If this is your first time on board, welcome! If you are a returning member, I’m glad to have you back! 🙂

The first thing we did on day one was create to characters for The Pride of Riley. The things that I’ll be focusing on when I grade them are your Nature, Demeanor, Attributes, and your (4) R’s. If you weren’t here, you can find this material in BB under Welcome to the Ship: First Day Stuff: Gamification.

After that, we did Creative Coloring and the discussion board to go along with it. If you weren’t here, do the best you can answering the questions over group work, but you should focus on the fact that you were absent and how absences affect group and partner work.

We then talked a little bit about The Buried Life and the book that resulted from the tv show. The trailer was really moving and those of you who hadn’t seen it before were interested in watching the tv show.

Lastly, we talked about what we would do if we only had 48 hours left to live. If you were absent for this, make sure you get a post-it note and write down what you would do. You do not need to put your name on it, but please make sure to keep it school appropriate.

Wow. Riley has some huge classes this year! Today was pretty easy – we started off by taking a survey in LMS – you can find it in the First Day folder – So You Wanna be  Pirate.

Then, she talked about how she is running her classroom as a roleplaying game – she won’t give “grades” – she’ll give experience points for you to level. She’s also going to give out what every pirate wants – BOOTY! Well, Booty Cards, that is. She let us know that as long as we do out work in class that we have nothing to fear – except her smelly feet, that is. Basically, her class is time management – use it wisely!

We did a character sheet – we talked about archetypes, nature and demeanor, and rated ourselves. You’ll need to print these bad boys from LMS, but they are there. Just make sure to print back and front.

After we did that, we did a Matching Game over five words that we learned today: Martyr, Curmudgeon, Architect, Conniver, and Deviant. If you weren’t here, Riley has a few copies left over, and you can also print this from LMS.

We didn’t get all of our work done today, so let’s make sure that we hustle tomorrow! Also, she’ll be looking for other people to take over Scribes to earn extra credit!

Arrr!
