LEARNING LOG~Dec 13/2011

What we did today

At the beginning of class today we changed our desks in groups. Ms.Lees gave the class a worksheet that we had to self evaluate and 6 books each group. The books were about the middle ages. We had to read the first 3 pages and evaluate what we read on to the sheet. On the sheet it had readability skills which was too easy, ok, somewhat challenging and challenging. Also on the sheet it had interest level which was not at all, somewhat interesting (could read), interesting and OMG have to read! Ms. Lees wanted a educational explanation why we chose what we think are readability was on each book and our interest level. We had to write our reasoning below. After we finished we had to rank the books from 1-6 the top books you would read to the lowest you would read.

Learning Intention

The learning intention was for Ms.Lees to find out what book is suitable for you. She is picking a book for each student to read for the Christmas holidays. We also had to stay focus and on task for the whole entire block in order to finish the sheet that was due in class today.

Reflections/Connections

Today I felt marvy because I really stayed on task today and didn't talk. I enjoyed reading all the books in the middle ages. There was a couple of books that I wanted to keep on reading ;)! I think this a good way for Ms.Lees to determine what book is suitable for each student.

Homework/Tips

- Finish your notes from the Pathway textbook that you have to complete at flex on Thursday at lunch
- Make sure your portfolio is ready for conferencing
- If you haven't finished your notes from the movie "First Knight" I suggest you should finish because it was due today

And I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!:)
