April 22, 2010 (Day 1)

Block D (1-4) Socials 10

You had time to work on your BC Confederation triple poster and to start your compare and contrast chart of pro-confed, pro-annex, and pro-colony interest groups.

CHALLENGE ISSUED: Learn Yakko's World by heart INCLUDING the inter-verse dance moves.  No notes, no prompting,  no group presentations.  A successful challenger earns a bye on the next test. This has not been accomplished to date.

FOR NEXT CLASS: Completed triple posters are due.

Block C (1-3) English 11


Block B (1-2) English 9

If your comic strip was done, you had the chance to try out your school instructions.  If not, you had time to complete the comic strip.

The new assignment is to write step-by-step instructions, aka "task analysis", of the routine in making a snack in your own kitchen.  For example, a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk and some sliced-up fruit.  If you choose to do your own snack, it must be at least as involved as the example.  Remember, this is a TASK ANALYSIS.  Instructions must be PRECISE.  It should begin something like:

1) Begin by facing the refrigerator
2) Open the cupboard immediately to the left of the refrigerator
3) Take out a plate.
4) Put plate on counter
5) Close cupboard.


DO NOT worry about the steps you take within your kitchen (saying "Go to the refrigerator" is fine) but DO include directional instructions like "Turn 90 degrees to your left"

FOR NEXT CLASS: Good copies of school directions, Vampires from Venus comic strip, and sandwich instructions must be handed in.

Block A (1-1) English 9

If your illustrated journal entry was done, you had the chance to try out your school instructions.  If not, you had time to complete the illustrated journal entry.

"Watched" this game on Twitter last night.  Actual goal was even more thrilling...
