Tuesday Lesson Plans

Hi all,

Here are your plans for Tuesday.  Please show respect to your teacher, Mrs. Peraza today.  Use your time wisely. I’ll see you all Wednesday. If any students come in needing tech repair, please refer them to the library for service if it is something the Tech Crew cannot fix. Make it a great day!

Basic Plan all Periods
  1. 10 min - Daily Touch typing on Typing.com (13 min on clock) - TA or NitroType Games on Fri.  AGENDAS OUT & ON DESK
  2. 4 min - Check email, personal time, catch up on missed work in this class, OR CHECK THE LESSON PLANS on Class Blog.
  3. P2 & 4 - Organize your time & 3 projects today
You will be working QUIETLY today to organize your 3 projects that will be due during Trimester 3.  The rest of Tri 2 will be spent working on these projects. You are NOT COLLABORATING TODAY - NO MOVING SEATS OR CHECKING OUT YOUR NEIGHBORS WORK.  FOCUS ON YOUR OWN WORK.
    1. Open this shared Google Sheet (I will have this open on my phone so I can see if you are on task)
    2. Fill out the information in the boxes next to your name.  Fill out ALL boxes and include links to your work.
    3. Your work on this form is worth 20 pts, no excuses!  
    4. When done filling form, work on one of these projects for the rest of the period.
  1. Stay quiet and do your work.  

  1. P5 & 6 -   Project ID - Designing an Identification Tag (ID Tag) for your computer case, backpack, or keys
    1. Use Tinkercad to create a unique design that will identify the case as yours.  The ID tag must have:
      1. a unique design that reflects your personality
      2. Your first name or initials
      3. Stay within the size limits found on the Project ID Syllabus.  This page is important because it give you the information you need to complete the project.  
      4. Create at least 3 different designs.  You will choose your favorite to print.
      5. Project due date is January 18
    2. Get started and I will explain more on Wednesday.

  1. 35 min - Work on projects - detailed above
    1. 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!!!!!
  2. Done with Project - Students can do these activities when complete with project and posting on their blog.  Early finishers can go on DIY Projects - If you are here, go to Gamestarmechanic.  
  3. 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 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

  1. 1 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.
    1. 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 Wednesday!
