Hello Everyone:<\/p>\n
Happy Thanksgiving!<\/strong><\/p>\n Thank you to everyone who already presented their Human Body Corporation letters. They are very entertaining! <\/p>\n We had a good time today playing Deal or No Deal to think about probability and chance, having a visit from the school counsellor who read us the great book Invisible Boy<\/em> to talk about how to build a better community through inclusion of everyone, and working on a new unit task!<\/p>\n Everyone has now chosen a disease or illness they would like to know more about so we can make a quick PowerPoint and inform others!<\/strong> To practice note-taking, Ms. D handed out a list of questions and a piece of paper to keep track of your notes. We are working on understanding how the best research and note-taking begins with a question AND involves writing down the parts you read that help answer that question! So, keep some bulleted notes about what you find out!<\/p>\n Homework this weekend<\/strong> is to spend 15 minutes researching your disease and to check out last night’s blog entry<\/a> with math websites to go through. Also, please look for a rock (due Oct. 16th) that is flat and round to use for art as I described in class.<\/p>\n Here are some websites to help you with your research.<\/strong> You will need to use four websites during this project. Keep checking back, as Ms. D may add more during the weekend now that I know what your diseases are! If you haven’t given me your disease, email me!
