The Division 4 students continued presenting on 'The 5 Kingdoms of Life' and 'Taxonomy' today.  Click here to see Richard's fantastic Prezi.  He followed the criteria for the project and did a super job creating digital images for his presentation.  We will link all presentations/posters to our learning gallery and our e-folios/Learning Journeys once everyone has presented.  It was great to see students learning from the feedback they received.  In addition to this, students learned a great deal about how to present simply by assessing their peers according to the criteria they created! Division 4 students love taking ownership of their learning! 

1.) MATH 6 - Complete all double digit times single digit multiplication questions. Watch this video -        
     you might be quizzed on this tomorrow.
     MATH 7 - Complete any assigned work. 

2.) SCIENCE - We will finish off the presentations tomorrow!  

3.) WRITE A RESPONSE: You have all started researching news articles for Social studies.  When reading anything, it is important to get an unbiased opinion so that you can come up with your own opinion about any topic.  Read the 3 questions below and respond to the best of your ability and provide details/examples from the news articles you have read this week.  I know these questions are challenging, so if you have any questions, post them here!  I want to see some good questions/comments today!  If you encounter any words you don't understand......you know what to do! ;)  
a.) Have you noticed anything about the opinions you have read? (Are the opinions biased?) 
b.) Why might a news organization strive to be impartial (not take sides)/be unbiased in their opinions) when reporting on a conflict in the news?

Today, we welcomed several visitors from different educational institutions.  First, we had Linda Chau from J.T. Brown Elementary School visit our class to see the wonderful learning that has taking place.  In addition to this, we were lucky enough to have two University professors of education visit our class to talk to you about your learning.  It was wonderful to see how well all of you responded to the questions that were asked.  You all articulated your learning like true life-long learners.  

1.) ART - IF POSSIBLE, complete colouring your anime art using one of the following websites or any other software you are comfortable using.  If you have completed your first image (you will end up making 4 separate ones next week) please submit it to our hand-in box and call it 'YOUR NAME - DRAFT 1).  If you have any questions, be sure to post them here so your classmates can help you complete some of the tasks.  Remember, zooming in while fine-lining will help you create a smooth lines. If you don't zoom in when you do this, your lines will appear very sloppy.

2.) SCIENCE - (Taxonomy/Classification) Add to your Science notes.  Currently, you have completed going through one reliable source and took notes of all the important points about the 5 Kingdoms.  You confirmed that you   had all the key points by collaborating with your classmates via Google Drive.  Your goal, if you choose to accept this (Just kidding....you must accept it...ha ha) is to take notes from the video link below.  The good thing about video resources is that you can pause it at anytime to jot down your notes.  Don't forget to use headings when jotting down your notes.  This video is about 12 minutes long and will likely some time to load so be sure to pause it so that it can buffer while you wait.  

3.) MATH 6 / 7 - Complete the fraction art activity you worked on in class today if you haven't already.

4.) POST A RESPONSE - Today, we learned more about pre-writing strategies.  We discussed making lists, brainstorming with webs, discussing with friends, and drawing pictures.  In addition to this, you did some writing activities that helped you get your thoughts down on paper.  Following this, you worked on your first draft of your 'WRITES' and then exchanged them with your partners so they could give you feedback to see what areas you could improve in.  They should have given you 4-5 points to work on.  Your homework is to revise your work and post it here.  Also, read the responses your classmates leave and we will complete the 'Blogging B.R.G.R.R.' on Monday morning as usual.
