TP – Students will identify angles using an interactive website

First, open the following link:

http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/Angles/

Next, download the following worksheet to your flashdrive:

Angles_Elem_Worksheet

1.  Make sure you rename the worksheet with your name and class number.

2.  As you go through the interactive angle sheets, please list the letters of the angles on the provided worksheet.

3.  Think about the 3 different angle types and what defines them.

TP – Students will identify angles in everyday objects by creating a presentation

 

4.  Open Powerpoint.  Choose an online picture.  Insert it as the background.

5.  Do not rush.  Take your time and slowly identify

6.  Label at least 2 of each type of angle you can find in the picture.  If you cannot find that many, then add another slide and label them on that slide.

7.  If you are comfortable with Powerpoint from our last few projects, then add more information – definitions, examples, clipart, transitions.  Use your project as a teaching tool for others.

Please use the rubric as a reference:

Please think about these questions as you choose your words and design your project?

• What tone would you like to set?  How do you plan on accomplishing this?
• What media tools are you using to set your tone?  What are you doing with those tools?
• Why did you pick that font, pic, sound? Be able to explain?
• How do you want this poem to make others feel?  Do think you accomplished this? Why?

Share your project with a classmate.  Offer them constructive criticism and do the same for them.

 

Through a NYC Schools partnership with Microsoft, students will be able to download free office software.  This software can be used on tablets, PCs, and Mac devices.  Please go to the following link:

As the third marking period draws to a close and Winter Recess nears, many of you have completed your assignments.  We will not begin a new project until after the break.  If you have completed your work here are some options (if you have another educational idea, please ask):

1. 6th grade – Make sure I have your completed business letter.  Make sure you took the quiz.  (class 407 – I also need the Excel project)(class 401 – I need your comic)

2.  You may go to code.org to complete an hour of code.  Go to my 7th grade link and read TP and directions.  This will allow you to learn how coding and programming works while also performing a challenging game task.

3.  As always you may try to complete assignments for other teachers.  This includes research, pictures, word processing, and creating presentations

4.  Design a Valentine’s card for a special person.  (TP – Students will use previous media skills to design a card).  Remember, you can use Word or Publisher.  You should use pictures and text.  Here are some helpful sites.

5.  Go to jason.org and explore the science topics and games that Ms. Fleetwood showed you in science class. TP- Students will explore science topics through an interactive site.

6.  Research a poem or song lyrics that you find meaningful or can relate to.  Copy and paste these lyrics into a document and save them for our next project after the break.
