Wednesday March 20th

The Plan:

 
Science:
This week we will be continuing to work on our erosion poster by checking our PQR2ST+ note cards with another student and then we will be ready to get to work on our team posters. Students will have two to three days to complete the poster as a team to showcase to their classmates. At the end of the week students will be taking an erosion quiz based on the section that they completed their PQR2ST+ notes over for the poster. For example, if the student completed PQR2ST+ notes over water erosion then that is the content that will be on his/her quiz. We will then be ready to begin our next unit near the end of the week: an exploration of rocks, minerals, and the rock cycle.

Homeroom:
Don't forget students that if you do not want your lifetouch pictures you must return them to not be charged. Also, your purple sheets for Cherokee classes are due Friday the 22nd!

 

What is Happening:

Monday: Today students completed their rough draft of their information and graphic for their erosion posters. Students should be coming home with their rough drafts to show and explain to you, and we will be beginning to put the poster together tomorrow. I reminded the students to use their rubrics as a guide, so if you could go over it with them while looking at their rough draft it would be great. The posters will be due Wednesday March 20th.

Tuesday: We began to work on our final copy of our Erosion posters. The students had the entire hour to work with their teammates and will have the entire hour to work tomorrow as well. As always the rubric is their best friend for this project. The posters will be due at the end of class Wednesday March 20th.

Wednesday: Today we worked on finishing up our posters and it became clear that we needed 10-15 more minutes tomorrow in class to wrap everything up and turn in good quality posters. The students will finish their posters and then after a brief review and a gallery tour walkaround we will be completing our quiz over erosion. Remember, if your student completed his/her PQR2ST+ notes over water erosion then that is the content that will be on his/her quiz and so on.
