Updates and new links/ SHOW OFF PROJECTS THIS WEEK!

Hello ELC,

Watch this space for the lists of Show Off Project order! We start next week!

Spelling Demons test  coming up Dec. 18/19

Today we began reviewing sentence diagramming, word forms (prefix and suffix) in order to decode meaning and to use appropriate forms in the appropriate situations.

I have linked up notes and practice at the top of the Independent Study  page. I suggest you begin to review. We will quiz on these in the new year.

I am very excited to see your SHOW OFF PROJECTS! THE FIRST PEOPLE START ON MONDAY DEC. 4 AND TUESDAY DEC. 5.

Ms. S

Update

Hello ELC,

Here is more information about the next project upon which you are working:

Show Off Projects

While, often we think of 'showing off' in a negative way, we can also think of it in terms of teaching and/or sharing.

·                Choose a talent or interest that you have that you'd like to demonstrate/teach to us. This could be cooking, crafting, building, coding, gaming, performing, athleticism or anything you feel confident in sharing.

·                Prepare a 5 - 10 minute talk/demonstration(set upand tear down included) of your show off idea

·                Provide back ground to how you developed your talent 

·                Provide any historical/technical background to this talent that you think we might need to know. (famous examples of this talent, the growth and development of it)

·                Your presentation must include a visual component. This could be a video, demo, model, projection, or hands-on inclusion of your audience (we all model with clay for example)

·                You are responsible for any materials needed for your presentation, but of course I am happy to help in any way I can if you provide me with enough notice.

·                You will submit a written version of your talk to me Nov. 28/29. (I’ll provide you with a form/template to fill out for this.)

·                we will have a sign up sheet where you can sign up for your presentation Nov. 28/29

·                Dec. 4-13: Show Off project presentations! (marks taken for being respectful audience members as well. This is a celebration of your gifts and talents.)

·                Marking Rubrics are on your Show Off project assignment handout. 

I very much look forward to seeing you show off  your strange and wonderful talents!

Thanks everyone,

Ms. S
