Activity #1: Penny Project Research
Your goal for today is to complete the 13 research questions. You are NOT to begin working on your narrative until tomorrow.
Reminders:
- Be sure to cite all of your factual research in NoodleTools. You have to be logged-in to your Google drive or email to access NoodleTools through the "waffle" icon. You must also record the title of the source(s) on the line that appears under each research question. If you do not list the source in the packet, you will lose a point from each question.
- You are encouraged to use the books that are on the cart.
- You are reminded to use the source(s) that Mrs. Barbarino has posted on Schoology for you.
- Be sure that you have written your penny's description on page #1 of your packet. You are to reread the instructions to be sure that you have completed all of the requirements.
Activity #2: Reading Your Independent Novel
You are to show your completed questions to the teacher and continue reading your independent novel. The AR Quiz will be on Friday, October 14th.
Activity #3: No Red Ink Grammar Skills Practice Activities
You are to log-on to No Red Ink and complete the listed activities. There are four activities listed that should be completed to practice grammar skills. The most recent activity that has been posted is on Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement. You are to start from where you left off the last time that you were on No Red Ink.
These practices are NOT graded. No Red Ink requires that point values are placed on the assignments, but these practices will not count as grades. You can use your scores to assess your own performance.
These practices will prepare you for material that we will soon be covering in class.
If you do not get to complete the No Red Ink practices today, they are NOT homework. You will have an opportunity to complete these practice activities in the future.
