I am doing my lesson on 11th grade reading and language arts. After reading one of the three novels assigned, students will write a short report answering a question about the novel. Students will also create a presentation to present to the class and write a short response about the book. Many CSOs will be used in this project. My guiding question is How does literature help us better understand ourselves?

Have a wondrous day! (:

Today's Class

Today we went over Module 2. We will be creating lesson plans for a unit that we want to teach. We also went over teaching standards. Helpful websites can be found here and here.

Have an astounding day! :)

Visual Ranking Project

Today I created a visual ranking project called "The 5 Step Writing Process" using Intel Education. My students would have to rank the 5 steps of the writing process from first to last. I had to insert a project name, project description, a prompt for students, and then the list to sort. For the description, I put the CSOs for 11th grade reading language arts. Then, I created four teams. To do the activity, students need my teacher ID, Team ID, and password.
My teacher ID is hwhite1464.
The team IDs for the students are 1, 2, 3, and 4.
The passwords for the teams are one, two, three, and four, respectively.

Have a sensational day! :)

Put the lime in the Coke, you nut!

Here's the scenario:
Two glasses are each filled half-way with soda-one with cola, the other with lemon-lime. A small amount of the lemon-lime is removed from the glass and put into the cola glass. The glass is stirred thoroughly so that the lemon-lime is completely mixed into the cola. Then the same amount of the mixture is removed from the cola glass and put back into the glass with lemon-lime.

Here's the question:
After the soda has been exchanged, is there more cola in the lemon-lime glass or more lemon-lime in the cola glass?

Here's my answer:
I think there is more lemon-lime in the cola. I came to this conclusion by visualizing two glasses filled with the two liquids. Only lemon-lime was added to the cola. A lemon-lime and cola mixture was added to the lemon-lime, therefore there is more lemon-lime in the cola. It is impossible to measure the amount of each substance in the lemon-lime/cola mixture.


Have a fantastic day! :)

Taxonomy

Here is a power point we had to make for homework over the weekend. I didn't really understand what to do or put, so it probably isn't very good.

Animoto

Today we made 30 minute videos about ourselves using Animoto. I uploaded pictures from Facebook. I added text and music to make the video more personal.
