On Thursday (10/17), we did short workshops on gaming, puppet making and racism.  There is no makeup work for those.

On Friday (10/18), here are the assignments:

Salazar's rotation:

• Write: What do you think employers want from their employees?  What qualities are most important?
• Watch and write your response : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5S0wSFKdX8
• Do the Self-Assessment Worksheet (you may need to google some of the terminology to fill out the chart).  Many people received less than full credit because they didn't give a school example for each box.

Williams' rotation:

• Make a document from this website using the period you are normally in.
• Take this test: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp#questionnaire
• Copy the results into that document
• Take this test: http://www.literacyworks.org/mi/assessment/findyourstrengths.html
• Copy the results into that document

Morris' rotation:

• We filmed short segments that reimagined how we wanted a particular subject to be taught in our ideal world. 
  
• Groups who didn't finish need to schedule a time with Ms. Morris or can choose their own subject (math, science, English, history, PE, foreign language, or an elective) and plan a lesson they would really want to be taught. 
  
• The plan needs to be well-thought out, and well-communicated in the video.  Puppets are encouraged.

Mr. Williams' rotation will finish the articles from yesterday.  If you finish early, you should do an additional article.  It will save you time later if you get it done now.

Ms. Morris' rotation will finish the video from Thursday, discuss the patterning notes (examples: 1st group, 2nd group, 2nd group again, 3rd group), work on finding patterns in school and in the work we've done so far, and talk about different ways of educating teenagers.

Mr. Salazar's rotation will focus on you demonstrating your knowledge of the ideas we've been learning about so far.  Here are the instructions.

For students in Ms. Morris' class, you watched these two videos and taking notes on the words and ideas that repeat.

For students in Salazar's class, here is a document that has all the work with directions.

For students in Mr. Williams' rotation, you will begin with creating a document.

1. Go to the page for your class period.  Fill out the form.  Title: P1 Brain Article Notes.  
2. Check your email, and when you get the link, open the document.
3. Go to bit.ly/p1brain (or use the playlist at the bottom of this post).  You are going to choose three articles from this playlist (or from the links in Step 2 of the playlist) and read them.
4. For each of the three articles you read, you need to do the following:

               --Title and author of the article
               --What the article says about the brain, learning, and teenagers
               --What you found most interesting
               --Questions you have, or connections you made to something else you've seen/read

If you don't finish three articles, you will finish on Friday.

Instead of using the link in step three, you can use the links from this playlist (note: it's the same thing).
