Friday Routine: Sorry I'm gone...

5th Period you may need to plug the power cords into the back of the computers.  Please be careful.
Put your homework (worksheet AND 5 paragraphs on a separate sheet) ON THE DESK next to you while you do your typing test.  The teacher will collect them.  MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS ON BOTH PAGES AND STAPLE THEM TOGETHER IF POSSIBLE

Learning Target(s):

• I can finish my week strong by
• Taking my typing test seriously and reflecting on my improvement (or lack thereof from last Friday)
• Opening my planner and WRITING DOWN all of my homework and general study times for this weekend and next Mon-Thursday
• I can discuss my Pleasantville answers and turn in my homework for credit.
• I can sign up for NitroType and kick my classmates behinds in a typing race.

Announcements:  

• If you have Saturday Detention then do yourself a favor and go!
• I apologize for not being there.  As I write this (Thursday afternoon) I'm off to deal with some emergency but non-life-threatening medical issues.  That's what I get for being so dang old.  I will be fine, I promise.

Agenda:

• WarmUp [15]
• When you have finished the warm-up go to the next task and write in your planner
• Open Planner
• Locate EIGHT Hours in ONE HOUR BLOCKS between now and NEXT THURSDAY - Block may be grouped into larger than 1 hour periods
• Put STUDY/HOMEWORK in those slots in your planner
• Find one solid THREE HOUR Slot and plan to do something fun that you have a hard time finding the time to do
• Class discussion [30++?]
• Read the first question out loud.  One student in each row of four gives answer out loud.  Discuss any similarities and differences using the film as your EVIDENCE along with your own experiences.
• Read each of the next questions out loud in turn.  One NEW student in each row of four gives answer out loud.  Discuss any similarities and differences using the film as your EVIDENCE along with your own experiences.
• Each student only speaks once.
• Sum up your learning by writing john@envisionacademy a quick/short email:  What is one thing from the movie Pleasantville that impacted you? Did you turn from black and white into color at all?  Why or why not?  This email is for CREDIT.
