JOURNAL: 
How was your weekend? Tell me about it.

1. Recap of Friday: 
  • We started our film dramatizations of an author's decision-making process on Friday, but I know there was a lot of work to be done and some of us didn't get there. That's okay! 
  • We are going to finish that work today in class.
  • Below, I've recapped some of the major points but if you need more detailed instructions you can scroll to last Friday's post (with screenshots and all!)
2. Film Script 
  • You should have downloaded a film script template from Friday's blog post and shared it with each other
  • Only one group shared it with me. Share it with me now, regardless of whether you're done or not.
  • These were your author assignments:
PURPLE TABLE: How Iyengar says we make decisions
          automatic vs. reflective decision-making systems 
YELLOW TABLE: How O'Brien says we make decisions
          quietly, in your own headspace OR until you're pushed to the edge 
GREEN TABLE: How Sandel says we make decisions
          we have to talk other people to make good decisions  
BLUE TABLE: How Frost says we make decisions 
          at every fork in the road, a decision must always be made 

3. Using FlipGrid
  • Our FlipGrid classroom can be found online HERE 
  • Film your skit/play/film by placing your Chromebook on a table/chair and acting out your script
  • When you are done, Flipgrid will tell you to take a selfie for the title card. Please get all of your faces in it so I can see who participated. 
  • Title your video with the name of your author. Ex: Iyengar, O'Brien, Sandel, or Frost
  • Submit the video and make sure you shared your script with me! (cdaniel@sandi.net)
  • Your video will not show up until I approve it, so don't stress when you don't see it available. I will moderate the videos over the weekend and evaluate your work! 
4. After FlipGrid 
  • Evaluate at least one video on Flipgrid (one besides yours) using THIS FORM
  • Help another group with their video (maybe you can film their work?) 
  • Check up on any missing assignments you have (see me if you need help) 
  • Look up what was going on in the United States in the 1890s. Collect all the information you can in a fresh Google Doc or in your journal! 
  • Check out a book from our classroom library (ask me for a recommendation if you need!)
Things to Know:
  • On Wednesday we have FAST Testing during 3rd period. Bring a pair of headphones if you have ones that connect to a Chromebook.
