What did we do?
Today we went to the library to do our critiquing things for . Ms.Lees could not understand the old one because it was too vague. First we did the sheet for the whole group. It asked questions like about when did we post this month, did we join Ms.Lees blog and who's post did we comment on. We were supposed to make a new goal. We did the sheet on one of the handouts.
After finishing writing down our gaols we found partners who we never worked with yet to do the critiquing with on another handout based on the criteria sheet. We went on the computer and read two posts for each person in your group. Then you write down your goals for next month.
There was also a new teacher with us because it is the second semester. Don't forget to make her welcomed!.
Why we did it:
We worked on our group thing so that we could set goal for next month to make our posts so we can start on our literary blogs soon. The sheet might help us to see when did we comment.
We critiqued with a person we never worked with so we could develop our oral communication skills. The critiquing we did helps us to see what we did wrong. Working with another partner also helps see another person's view of your work.
Connections:
Working together in a group or with a partner helps develop the oral communication skills needed to work with other people in careers such as a teacher. Setting down goals helps us get thing down like losing weight.
Homework and tips:
We have to finish the critiquing sheet if you are not done. You also have catch up if you didn't finish earlier stuff.
Some tips for homework is to do it in class. Asking for help and going to flex is good too!

What did we do?
Today Ms.Lees signed out the book "There Will Be Wolves" and she was handing out sheets on chapter one and two. There was a shortage so she sent people into other classrooms to get some. The class read the book while Ms.Lees checked that we had handed in stuff like paragraphs, notes on chapter one for the "Pathways" textbook and the"First Knight" notes and questions.
Why we did it:
Ms.Lees signed out the books so we can learn more about the Crusades and to improve our reading skills. The sheet of paper she gave us was to help us understand the story more. She checked our stuff because some of our marks depend on it.
Connections and reflections:
The reason that knowledge of the Crusades might come in handy later is when you want a job as an archaeologist. Handing our stuff would help us get a slightly better mark and it develop good habits.
Homework:
We have to redo the paragraphs if you lose them( Ms.lees prefer double spaced but single space also work.) and also anything else that Ms.Lees want from you and that you have lost. You have to watch the eight minutes video on Ms.Lees blog again for tomorrows.

What did we do?
Today we went into our novel groups to work on our webs that were about the novels. We had to do a draft for the poster to plan the appearance. The course selection sheet was also due today(the blue one). We were also supposed to hand in the paragraphs, which included the outline, draft, good copy and the peer editing.
Why we did it:
We worked on the poster so that we would not be rushing to get it done at the last minute. The blue sheet was for our course selection for next year. Ms.Lees made us the peer editing to develop our communication skills.
My reflections and connections:
We worked on the web to develop our connection skills. Handing in the blue sheet on time could help us have a better habit on being on time and handing in projects on time for work. The paragraphs could help us being a better writer so we can be really good at writing essays in the future.
Homework and tips:
If you have not finished the paragraphs, you have to write a good copy, single spaced.If you lost your outline, make another one. Some research should be done to make your poster better!

What did we do?
- We split in our novel book groups and made a discussion. We found what headlines were good for each novels because they were all different novels. Those head lines were realated to your novels [Education, daily life style, technology] After choosing headlines , we picked the one you like and made a note about it by reading a part of the novel again.
- we took our paragrphs that we did few weeks ago [Nardative, descriptive and etc]. Picked your own partner that can find mistakes and fix it for you. After fixing the paragraphs, we marked each other's grades.
Why did we do this?
- We made a discussion to tell what the story was about [main idea] and to help eachother if they don't understand some parts. This was also a first step to draw a web of a novel. That was why you picked headings and took notes about it.
Connection
- I can use this having a discussion and taking notes skills in other subjects too so it will help me alot.
Homeworks
- Read book if you are not done.
- Take notes about the headings that you choosed.
