HW; Read 20 minutes. Be sure to have your books in class tomorrow-I will be giving back reading time that i hijacked earlier in the week.

Please welcome Ms. Patenaude today. She is here to discuss plagiarism and to teach you how to properly cite your sources.
When we completed our Flocabs each of you consulted a research article, a video AND used 3 images in your movies. I told you to save all links so we could cite them after the final project. Here we are!
You will need to find your resources from the project.
     Your picture links are on your team document
     The research links can be found on this link 
     The video links can be found on this blogpost

Please follow Ms. Patenaude's lead on creating an MLA works cited page using Noodletools.

If you were out today be sure to see me when you get back to work through Noodletools (this is a graded assignment) AND read 20 minutes in your IR books.

Find your writing from Wednesday in your Reader's Notebook
Rework your response to the reflective question "what do you know about yourself as a reader". Answers from Wednesday were largely surface and unreflective.  I am looking for an indication that you have truly thought about your reading habits and needs. Consider the following ideas:

  • What makes reading work for you?
  • Environment?
  • Type of book?
  • Noise?
  • What do you know does not work?
  • Time?
Complete survey regarding the Flocab Project we have just completed (10 points in Misc category, .5 for an answer, 1.5 for the explanations)

HW: Read for 20 minutes and enjoy the weekend.

Welcome Back. I sure hope break was relaxing and enjoyable. We are going to spend the period today getting reacquainted with our books.
I am so excited to see what you are reading and to tell you about what I am reading.
If you are out today, know you are missing 20 minutes of reading and you are missing a writing piece as well. See me on your return to make this up.
HW: 20 minutes of reading
