Tremendous Tuesday!
We began the day with Math. We continued our lesson from yesterday to ensure students understood how to create a circle graph using percents.
Success Criteria:
-I can use the data provided to find the percentage
-I can make a circle graph using a protractor
-I can make a circle graph by multiplying the decimal by 360 degrees
-I can use each percent and decimal to make a circle graph of the data provided
Then we had French.
After first recess and lunch Ms. Hayward visited our class today and involved students in an hour long workshop on research skills, academic honesty, and how to cite sources using MLA formatting. Students practiced citing websites, books, articles, and magazines using MLA formatting. Students can review what Ms. Hayward shared by visiting her library website pages. Ms. Hayward shared a curated source available to our students called Canada in Context. Students have received the password to access this site. They are encouraged to use this site to find resources for their exhibition research. Ms. Hayward will be available to exhibition groups as a mentor when it comes to finding sources and for advice on how to correctly use MLA formatting for citing their sources.
Students then learned the issue they will be investigating for exhibition, their group members, and who their mentors are this morning. They received their exhibition binders, letters for parents, an exhibition planning journal, a research and note-taking checklist & rubric, and a template for recording their mentor meetings. We spent time reading through the parent letter. We discussed how students need to be good communicators in order for parents to support their needs. We reviewed the exhibition schedule and set some due dates.
After students were encouraged to introduce themselves to their mentors and set up their first mentor meeting sometime this week. Students are expected to meet with their mentors once a week.
After second recess and lunch students had Gym.
