Reflect on Writing Tasks

Small Group Discussions
Google Classroom Question

1. Social Group Writing Task Self-Reflection

• Your social group writing task is in Google Classroom, so you should have submitted it already. 
• You do not have to click "turn in" because I can see it regardless, but it would help. 
• Please use this SOCIAL GROUP SELF-EVALUATION to help me score your writing task. It always helps to know what you think of your own work. 

VIEW YOUR SOCIAL GROUP BLOG HERE! 

2. Small Group Discussions

• We're breaking into small groups to talk about the social groups you wrote about. 
• Think of this like a mini-Socratic. 
• There are guiding questions on the screen up front that will help you in your discussion.

3. GC Check-In Question

• There is a question listed on Google Classroom for you to answer about your small group discussions. 
• Shout out someone who gave a really great contribution to the discussion! 

Reminders: 

• Tomorrow, you're going to be doing some writing about what you learned this year. Come prepared to write about 5 things you've learned in your 9th grade year. 
• We are returning textbooks tomorrow during English! 
• Last chance for regrade requests: make sure anything you need a regrade on is submitted by TOMORROW! 
• Your lockers have to be cleaned out by Thursday at the end of the day, no exceptions.
