Agenda:

Peer Review
Powerschool Check-Up

1. Read 
We're starting our Friday with 20 minutes of reading to get in the zone, Starbooks style. No journal prompt today!

2. Submit Your Writing
  • You have had all week dedicated to writing your letter to a specific audience. Today is the absolute last day it is due. 
  • Your work should be typed and submitted to Google Classroom where I have an assignment called "Op-Ed: Fake News and Bias in Reporting" 
3. Finish TED Talk + Précis 
  • Yesterday a few of you began the assignment to watch this TED Talk by Eduardo Zanetta but not everyone finished.
  • Write a 4 sentence précis in your journal titled "Precis: Failure is a Part of Success" under today's journal entry
  • I'm coming around to check your precis and stamp it for this week's journal score
Eduardo Zanetta's TED Talk

4. Peergrade
  • We're going to check out our classmates' work and score them on a rubric online. 
  • You will anonymously view three classmates' work and score them according to a set of questions. 
  • Take your time and give genuine feedback that could help. 
  • Follow the link in Google Classroom to peergrade to get started but wait for my direct instruction to go any further. 
5. Powerschool Check-Up
Check Powerschool and make up an assignment that you didn't do so well on. You can always request a regrade on any assignment that was done on paper or submitted online (just not verbal assignments like discussions).
    Reminders: 
    Have a great weekend. See you Monday!
