Diseases Project Research! Websites to help you, too!

October 6, 2017 Ms. D

Hello Everyone:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you to everyone who already presented their Human Body Corporation letters. They are very entertaining!

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 to talk about how to build a better community through inclusion of everyone, and working on a new unit task!

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! 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!

Homework this weekend is to spend 15 minutes researching your disease and to check out last night’s blog entry 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.

Here are some websites to help you with your research. 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! Have a good weekend!
