• Must give Smith the Link to your presentation by Friday
• Period 2
• Period 3
• Period 5

Start working on presentation, find you attention getter, and put your link on the group shared document(make sure to have it on public view)

Speech must be between 2:50 and 3:10 minutes long. At 2:50 the timer will raise on hand, and at three they’ll signal you to start wrapping it up. At 3:10 you will be cut off.

Write the speech in a style similar to how you talk, and find something to engage people (attention getter, and slides) Change the slide enough that it stays interesting, but not enough to distract from your speech.

Don’t just read off the board, use pictures.

PRACTICE!!! In front of family, friends, anyone. You are encouraged to memorize your speech but some people do prefer to just “wing it”.

Scribe 12/10/13 Elizabeth Brandel Period 5

How to move essay into speech-

• Less formal
• Organization devices
• break up into 30 second intervals
• Ex: Attention getter- 30 seconds, Story- 1-1:30, Belief Statement- 10 seconds, Big Picture- 1 minute, Conclusion- 30 seconds
• use note cards, phone, computer
• Use the rubric
• More advice on agenda-- https://docs.google.com/a/lpsk12.org/presentation/d/1nT_FLO7n_nSdJB_aduWMPnco5N3Z-lrdEnkfr4ImcPY/edit#slide=id.g259a3f6e7_05

Once you are done with presentation, go to agenda and on the 5th slide there is a link for your class hour. Make a link of your presentation on your name.

Also on the presentation go to share and change who has access to Public on the web.

English 9 Honors Scribe 11-22-13

At the start of class, we turned in essay revisions. In the future, turn in work as soon as possible in consideration of Mrs. Smith's time. We then reviewed the previous day's lesson with Mrs. Fisch when we practiced deeper thinking and analysis of schools and education. During Thanksgiving Break it would not hurt to begin thinking about your "This I Believe Essay." At the end of class we were introduced to the “This I Believe Site” and began to brainstorm for our own essays

-personal style, creative liberty when it comes to format, as long as it makes your point, see examples on the site

-3-4 minute memorized speech

-300-500 words

-must be positive

-do not preach or lecture or editorialize

-relate a personal experience that matters to you; speak in a way that makes your experience matter to others

-“tell what you do believe, not what you don't”

Homework: “debrief your head”; plan for your “This I Believe Essay”, prepare to write when you come back from break

Think Big, Think Deep; Don’t Limit Yourself

Example Essays:

There is No God, by Penn Jillette: lacks a storyline: justifies his point with various examples and statements, negative and controversial, unconventional, intense, concrete belief; strongly personal- his choices, his actions based on his beliefs; example of pushing boundaries, no limits, freedom of expression

In Giving I Connect With Others, by Isabel Allende

Today in English we needed to come to class with an open mind. We watched a presentation, done by Mr. Fisch. In the presentation, the class discussed what students need to be successful with their education. The class also discussed what they think would help make education better for modern day life. We submitted two Google forms that pertained to Mr. Fisch's presentation, the links to these forms can be found in Mrs. Smith's agenda.

Our homework was to come with an open mind tomorrow as well, also the redo essays for the c, d, and f grades on the LWG paper, these are technically due tomorrow, Friday 11/22/13, but Smith would've preferred them sooner. Another piece of homework was to look into the "This I believe" project, details can be found in the agenda.

Today was great class!
In class we first heard from the daily announcements. Below is a link to the announcements said in class.
http://ahsdailyannouncements.blogspot.com/

After we heard from the announcers we handed in our SAT books because we have finished our work with SAT for the semester.
After this we recieved a Summery-Response Peer Editing paper linked below:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zlAFq44JstB0Dr3HTUEZBNy-pPOwQLfzkK9FznlWQrg/edit?pli=1
On this we filled out S/R Evaluatee: with your name and for the Blog Address you put in your blog address. After this Mrs. Smith collected them and handed different ones out to everyone. We were then assigned to grade someone else's Summary/Response. This was assigned as our homework. We were supposed to leave good comments and an accurate grade.

Tomorrow we have a fish bowl over pages 41-68 on 451.
The presenters are:
Kate
Katlin
Lucy
The Discussers are:
Kyle
Clayton
Claire.

Come prepared to participate in conversation!
We then in the class had work time to either work on our fishbowl or our peer editing.

On right of whiteboard:

On the left side of the whiteboard:

  -class size/connections with students

       traditional college is irrelevant

-education in classrooms doesn’t deal with patterns in the world      

 -tech used more than textbooks

             
   -disconnections with tech can be formed into engagement with tech       

-comfortability with tech, constraints of traditional education

-tech can be beneficial or detrimental     

-tech can be distracting

  -students grow with tech use but  teachers are not using tech     

^block learning^    

mass education= quantity of work vs. quality of work

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

students pay for this??
