HW: 1) Cover your new Sali textbook with a heavy paper bag by Wednesday; 2) If you need to complete the Hand Raising lab write up from Thursday, please do so; and 3) If you did not complete the three analysis questions from Sali 1 during class, please do so. In class today: We had a bit of an irregular schedule due to the middle school team building activity that ran twice as long as had been planned. 7S had their science time cut into two sections, part during 3rd period, part during our normal silent reading time after lunch. 7D had science during their normal time, but it was a little shortened due to having to change classes from math to science. We began by reviewing the Hand Raising lab from Thursday. If students had not included everything (except the EDD) from the checklist, they were to fix their write up and turn it in on Tuesday. Next we passed out the DPS 7th grade textbook – Science and Life Issues, nicknamed Sali. We looked at the organization of lessons, units, pages etc. Students then got out a piece of paper and put their heading and the challenge question. This paper was to be used for the analysis questions when they finished the activity. Mrs. DuHoux gave each student a worksheet too (see link:#1 Save Fred WS_ForStudents ). After reading the introduction and discussion the problem, students worked with their parnter to write up a plan on the worksheet and then begin to save Fred. After they had written and tried two plans (one on the front, one on the back of the worksheet), they could begin the three analysis questions from their Sali textbook.
