Before you sit down
- Take care of any pressing personal business (bathroom, drink, snack, etc)
- Gather your materials - I will post a list of daily items needed on the whiteboard
- Greet your classmates, and me!
- If you are concerned about your laptop's power, please plug it in on the counter in the back and leave it closed while it charges.
Read & Complete the Do-Now
This is usually a silent individual activity that can be completed in a short period of time. It will always be written on the center whiteboard. Be sure to read the instructions over carefully before you ask me what to do. You may quietly ask a classmate if you aren't certain what to do, but the work needs to be completed independently.
If you are running late and unable to finish, that's okay. If you finish early, you may update your notebook.
Class Gathering/Warm-Up
Once everyone's settled and spent a bit of time on the Do-Now, I will ask the class to stand up and gather. We will do a brief warm-up activity to get us focused and relaxed. What we do will depend on the day and mood, and in the future if you have an idea for a warm-up, please feel free to suggest/request one!
Objectives
Each class has a list of objectives or goals; we will look at the list of objectives and make sure we're all on the same page. These will always be posted on the board and should help guide you if you have questions during the rest of class.Activities
These will vary greatly! We could be writing, researching, drawing, talking or perhaps filming. Some activities will be independent, some in pairs, and some in groups.
Publishing/Reflection
This is when we will take the opportunity to update the blog, look over what we've accomplished and share our work. It's also a great time to ask questions!
Looking Forward
We close class by determining homework and what the following class will look like. Be sure to keep a record of assignments in addition to the postings on Veracross.
