Hi, I will be writing about the second block of our Wednesday double block.
1. We started the block by receiving two booklets, one was a self-assessment about our reading and writing skills. Also we started working on a paragraph booklet about proper sentence and paragraph composition.
*Remember, we are supposed to unscramble the paragraphs on a different paper.
Lastly, some of us who could not use the stapler earlier handed in the dialectal journals.
2. The first booklet's learning intention was to let us assess whether we can make meaningful connections, identify theme, review our usage of formal language etc. We also had to pick assignments that would provide evidence to support our decision, that also helps with finding textual evidence to support ideas in stories.
The paragraph booklet was mostly to work on paragraph and sentence structure, but it was also to extend the length of our connections in our dialectical journals. So aim for five to nine sentences in paragraphs. We also handed in our dialectical journals and self-assessment that went with it so Ms. Lees can see what we improved upon and what we still need help with.
3. Self-assessing and goal setting is always important in life, it helps with finding errors, and things to improve upon, or what you did well and your are improving on. Goal setting also helps with moving forward in any subject area. Paragraph and sentence structure is important when writing just about anything, so it is always be important to have good writing skills.
4. The reading self-assessment is due this Friday ( Dec. 5) the paragraph booklet is due in a couple of weeks and is on going, make sure to highlight all the important details, that is the point. Also, the Genius Hour conferences are started soon so be prepared for that. The innovation week form is also due on the 9th of December.
5.The self-assessment is individual so you can't get help with that. The paragraph booklet is more memorizing information from the booklet so you can not get much help for that.
The Innovation Fair form's deadline is approaching so if you need help with that you can go to room D105 in the new wing during lunch.
That is all,
Josh
Great job on your first learning blog Josh!! You went into a lot of detail on where to find help for the innovation week proposals and the learning intentions for the paragraph booklet. You reminded us when our genius hour conferences are and when our booklets are due. I like how you used headings to make to easier for the readers to understand. This is a personal opinion but you could add different colours to the words so they will stand out a bit more. You can also consider making the font bigger for titles and underling so it is more noticeable where the titles are. Other than that keep up the great work Josh! - Sophie
ReplyDeleteHi Josh
ReplyDeleteFantastic Job on your first learning blog!!! I like how your post is so well-organized and neat. Literally anybody could read it and know what your talking about. It's nice how you went into so much detail for each heading especially for learning intentions. I also like told us about upcoming events such as the genius hour conferences. It's helpful that you told us which room the innovation week help is to. Overall a very nice post
P.S: 5 headings and your doing 2nd block, 5 - 2 = 3
3 sides in a triangle; Josh Illuminati confirmed
P.S.S: Forgot constructive criticism. In the future you could write more for the homework tips and help more with it. Other then that great post!
