Learning Logs for December 18

What did we do?
Today in our first block of Humanities, we were expected to work on our pros and cons for our novels. We weren't asked to work on our paragraph booklets.

Why (Learning Intension) did we do it?
We worked on our pros and cons because we could understand the good things (advantages) and bad things (disadvantages) about our own novels. 

Reflections and Connections
Doing the pros and cons can help us in the future because it helps us have a better understanding of the novel, and it helps make decisions about our commercials.

Homework Reminders
Try to finish or complete the paragraph booklets by tomorrow, and also your pros and cons if you haven't finished.

What did we do?

            Today for the second block of humanities we got into our lit circle groups to discuss about our commercial. We talked about pro and cons about our book.

Why did we do it? (learning intentions)

            We did it so we could talk in our groups about what was good about the book and what was bad about the book. (pro-cons list).

Reflections and connections-

            It’s important because we know what to say in our commercial cause we’re trying to sell the book. We have to know what’s good to say in our commercial, what people will like about the book. Word maybe we’ve learned from this class.

Homework reminders-

            Innovation fair, learning blogs and ideas for the commercial if you haven’t finished yet.

Homework tips-

            You can ask a friend, watch videos or e-mail our teacher.

3 Words

Hi, my name is Alice and i am in Grade 8.
This week our homework was to do a 3 word challenge and post on the blog. Basically what the 3 word challenge is, is that we choose 3 words that we want to make as "Goals" for next year (2015)

Here is the link if you want to go the website!

The 3 Words that i chose...
1. Flexibility
I chose the word Flexibility, because i really had a goal to get my splits going for a while and i wanted to be really flexible this year to help me with dance.

2.Concentration/Wisely
I chose this word, because i sometimes i find myself not able to focus even at home, or even a litlle bit of chatter i could get distracted. The library was my #1 place that i can study. I wasnted to be able to work at home and not get distracted. That is why i chose this word. :)

3. Improvment
I chose this word, because sometimes i find that i improve on things fairly slowly, so i this year (in 2015) i feel like i can improve on things better and more efficiently. If i can do this it'll help lots in different things and activities!!!.

I am sorry that i didn't post for almost a week!. (I was supposed to post for Tuesday.)

On Tuesday during the first and second block we had a Blackout so we didn't as much. But we still had to have our proposals shown to Ms.Lees to get approved and  recieve feed back. During this time was sort of like free time.

Homework Reminders
you can go slighty ahead of booklet and work on Lit circles!
