Sub Plans for Wednesday

Hi all,

Here are your plans for Wednesday.  Please show respect to your teacher, Ms. Chroman today.  Use your time wisely. I’ll see you all Thursday. If any students come in needing tech repair, please refer them to the library for service. Make it a great day!

Basic Plan all Periods

  1. 10 min - Daily Touch typing on Typing.com (10 min) - TA or NitroType Games on Fri.
  2. 5 min - Check email, personal time, catch up on missed work in this class, OR CHECK THE LESSON PLANS on Class Blog
  3. 4 min - Preview the day’s  - your time to introduce yourself
  4. P2, 4, 5, & 6 - Project Identification on Tinkercad
    1. Build up to 4 different ideas to solve the problem
      1. 1st Year Students - Cases, backpacks, keys all look the same.  Make something that makes them unique
      2. 2nd & 3rd Year Students - Create, design & print a solution to a problem.  Item must use at least 2 parts that work together to solve the problem
      3. Final Design Due Oct 10
    2. 35 min - Work on projects - detailed above
  5. Guest teacher - Students may be collaborating which is encouraged.  Or, they may be just visiting so you will need to move around the classroom and listen into conversations.  THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR GOOD CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT!!!!!
  6. Done with Project - Students can do these activities when complete with the project and posting on their blog.  Early finishers can go on DIY Projects - If you are here, go to Gamestarmechanic.  
  7. DIY ACTIVITIES
Blogger
Modify your blogs themes, colors, and layout
Great game design website.  Sign in, use the year 2004 for registering, select “Get Started” until you get to the “Quest” and click on that.  
Tinkercad
Create a new project or work on an old one
Finish Preparing 3D printed ID
Use tools carefully and clean up the work table
Code.org
Work on another new task or finish one from last year
Scratch
Go play some games on Scratch!  When you find a game you like, look at the code used to create it
  • 2 min - Shutting down & logging out - I make all student wait at stations till all headphones, tables, and chairs are neatly arranged.  I excuse one row at a time. Do not excuse students until workspaces are clean.
  • P6 needs to put chairs up on FRIDAY!
  • Reminders:
  • Write good, detailed, and readable reflections.  
  • Email me if you have any question.
  • Collaboration is helpful, socializing is distracting - Know why you are out of your seat and it cannot be to socialize.

I wish you all a good day.  See you Thursday!
