Done! Under Classroom Organization -> Blogs
Hi Madame! When I try to log in to my google account it says that my device is not recognized, so it will not let me log in. Is there another way I could get to google classroom?
Sorry 7, I’m not sure how to help you without seeing what its telling you. Just make sure you’re using your email to log into google drive.
Hi Mme! Do we have to have a picture for every single blog post, if we do, do you have suggestions what kind of photos to have for core competencies?
I STRONGLY recommend you have a photo for every post.
For the core competencies you can take photos of work, or staged scenes of you doing work (no faces) or if you’re suuuuper stumped the Core competencies themselves. I’ve put a link to the PDF under Classroom Organization.
Hi Mme, I feel pretty sick today, and won’t be going to school. I have a lit circle today for Fatty Legs though. Can I maybe call you later while you’re doing lit circles so I can participate? If not, am I just not going to do lit circles this week? Thanks.
Don’t worry about it. If you’re sick you’re sick, you will have plenty of other opportunities to join the discussions. Just make sure to hand in your reflections when you’re back.
For the core competencies blog are we just supposed to explain how we’re achieving the sub-topic while doing class work?
Yes. Give me an example of a situation.
what is blog 6 about, I know its core competencies but what about them?
Give an example of a situation where you satisfied the “I can” statement of one of the core competencies.
