ELA B10: Feb 6 Comma test and blogging begins!
- Students came in wet and cold from walking from the rink. Once they settled down a bit, they wrote their first comma test.
- Once finished, I turned the projector on and showed a few students how to create their gmail account and blogs. Others had done as I’d asked and tried creating their blogs earlier in the week and had already activated and begun their blog. The ones with blogs already worked on the computers trying to personalize it and create their own blog posts. (see the link here)
- There will be more computer time. I’ve set next Friday as the due date to have the first two blog entries completed, but we’ll look more at it next week. If students haven’t been able to activate their blog, they can use paper and pencil to get their thoughts down and search for material online that they will be linking or embedding into their post. There are things you can do if you don’t have your blog so no one is left with nothing to do.
