Today is a pretty easy day – we are creating our own Bucketlist. Remember last week, we created an account at BucketList? Well, we are using that site to create our OWN BucketList.

I’m giving you an option – you can just create your BucketList for 15 points, OR, you can earn up to 30 points if you create a digital poster/presentation. You can use the media of your choice:

The key here is that is s media file – hence the nugget for Media Literacy today. Just make sure that you drop the link or file off in the drop box.

You *have* to have your Obituary completed in order to do the activity tomorrow. Make sure it’s in!

Well, the last time we “gamed”, we got in trouble with the authorities for cheating. We were told that we had to prove we were pilgims, and that if we didn’t, we’d be thrown in jail.

Sadly, we did not pass that test. We were thrown in jail for piracy and other horrible acts and are going to have to defend ourselves before the court. But we know nothing of legal defense! We do not have sweet words to convince the judge. We are doomed. DOOMED!

As we sit in cell, bemoaning our fate, we hear the moans of a man in the corner. We cautiously approach and discover that our cell mate is none other than the immortal bard – Shakespeare himself!

He has a horrible toothache, and says that if we can find a reputable dentist for him, he will help us with our defense.

So, today, we read about dentistry in Shakespeare’s time and created a advertisement for a dentist. Use can use either a template in Publisher or you can start the ad from scratch.

Make sure you drop off the ad in the drop box when you are done! This shouldn’t take all 80 minutes, so make sure that you use your time wisely!
