LEARNING LOG ~ Feb.22/12

What We Did

Today we talked about the plans were doing before spring break. Ms. Lees wanted to organize this today because she had unexpected absents. I'm glad we made plans for the week ahead because it can make us get prepared. We also talked about how we are going to take our portfolios home this week and share our blogs. There's nothing to be nervous about guys! ;)

Ms.Lees read a fortune magazine that explained what employers are looking for in employees. We talked about as a class how employers check our Facebook or other social networks. Employers want a employee that has social/collaboration skills, team work, can work independently and has a good sense of knowledge.

We had a quiz today so Ms.Lees reviewed chapter 1-5 questions on There Will Be Wolves. We mostly reviewed the main key idea in each chapter and the questions that were difficult for some of us to answer.

After break we did chapters 1-5 questions. In one section of the quiz it was multiple choice and in the other section we had to list the events in order. After we all finished the quiz we got the rest of the class time to finish our notes of middle ages or read and do questions There Will Be Wolves chapter 10.

Why we did it/ Connections & Reflections

We scheduled the plan for the week ahead so we can get prepared and there will be no surprises!! I'm glad we did this because now I know all the upcoming events before spring break! I think it will be pretty interesting to show our parents our blog and portfolios. I'm kinda excited and nervous at the same time! I wonder what they'll say...???!

I liked talking about the fortune magazine because I agreed with it %100! Everyone should be aware of what they post on Facebook or other social network. It's very important to be mature and be ready for the future.

It refreshed my memory when we reviewed the There Will Be Wolves chapters 1-5. I didn't memorize everything that happened in the chapters but I did memorize the key ideas. I found the quiz really easy! I was thrilled that it was multiple choice and listing the events in order.:)
