For the first about 15-20 minutes we began our class in our Novel Study book group, where we spent this time doing silent reading for our Novel Studies. After reading the books that we were previously assigned to, the laptops (MacBooks) were brought in and we partnered up in groups of 2-3, and we were to create e-portfolios using our Fhlearn blogs, and make a new page for Humanities and subcategories there. We watched a video that explained how to do so as well. This lasted until the end of the class.
Purpose
The purpose of doing the e-portfolios today was to know where to keep our assignments if we believe that there was a chance of loosing them-we could post it on the blog. Also, this will keep us more organized for future projects and planning.
Reflection
I think the skills we learned today will possible benefit us in the future by, for instance, if we have another class that requires us to do the same skills we learned today, or if we make our own WordPress accounts. Also, the silent reading helped us get further in our books, so that we won't get too far behind (if we didn't read it in our own time) at the last minute.
Homework
Today's homework was to create pages and menus for our e-portfolios. If you forget how to do so, go onto Lees Hum 8 and follow this link. Also, we need to complete the note taking for Pathways as soon as we can, and we need to continue working on our Genius Hour projects. We also need to read our novels, and try to complete them in about 2 weeks.
Tips
If you need help with homework, I suggest asking Ms.Lees or another classmate or going on the blog for help, especially for technical issues. Also, I suggest reading the novel and doing Genius hour (and don't forget to log your progress!) as well, even though these do not have a due date. This will make sure that you don't have to push all your work to the last minute.
