Late Lesson Plans For 12-1-17

Hi all,

Here are your plans for Friday.  Your guest teacher will be Mr. Juarez.  Please show respect to your teacher today.  Use your time wisely.  Make sure to post a "What’s Up" post but take no more than 10 minutes to complete it.

Basic Plan all Periods

1. 10 min - Daily Touch typing on Typing Agent (10 min) - TA or NitroType Games on Fri.
2. 4 min - Check email OR CHECK THE LESSON PLANS on Class Blog (Both the same).
3. 4 min - Preview the day’s activities with class
4. Blog Post - “What’s Up?” Take 5 - 10 min to write and illustrate your post about anything topic you want.
5. P2, 5, & 6 - Building an ID Tag - Students will be online using Tinkercad to create an Identification tag to personalize their computer case.  Syllabus for this project is on our class blog.  Students will:
1. Create at least 2 & up to 4 different tags of different styles
2. Each ID tag needs to have a first name (nickname & last initial are ok but no last name)
3. The design must have some artistic quality and cannot be a basic shape (square, rectangle, circle) without modification.  You can start with these shape but you need to change it, cut it, modify it.
4. Printing of projects will start on Tuesday after checking project with Mr. G
5. All students should be ready for teacher check starting Wednesday.
6. Post image and reflection on blog by next Friday.
6. P4 - Podcasting - students will be creating, editing, publishing, and posting their first two podcasts.  Some students are collaborating but noise levels in the classroom MUST be between a level 1 & 2.  Respect those who need quiet in order to record.
1. Continue recording your podcast
2. Add Intro and Outtro to your podcast - Refer to this screencast for “How To” importing music, adding intro & outtro, editing, saving, exporting, and posting on padlet.
3. Here are some more editing tricks to improve the sound quality of your audacity recording
4. Post your finished podcasts on the class blog padlet named “Podcasting Pandemonium”
5. When you are done, listen to some of the other podcasts.
7. 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!!!!!
8. Done with Project - Students can do these activities when complete with project and posting on their blog
1. DIY ACTIVITIES

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 tomorrow!

Mr. Garcia
