‘Post-to-be-Private’

We began our day with math. Students used variables in expressions and used sentences to describe algebraic expressions. Students who were away at the soccer trip today are asked to catch up the practice work on p. 210 – 211 of the MMS 7 book. Most students who attended regular class today did not have time to complete the practice work. The unit test for Patterning and Algebra will be written on Thursday, May 31^st.

Next up was novel discussion time where we discussed Chapter 7 of Bridge to Terabithia as a class. Students shared how their opinion of Janice Avery changed by knowing more about her personal circumstances. The class was assigned to read Chapter 8 and answer the questions relating to Chapter 8. This is due tomorrow when we will have our next discussion time.

We continued work on our Digital Footprint inquiry unit. Today we discussed ‘Post-to-be-Private’ a lesson about friending people and content posted on social networking sites. Students shared their rules for forming on-line friends. Each group received a set on envelopes. On the outside of the envelope was a shared profile on which students based their decision whether or not to accept the person as a friend. On the inside was the person’s true profile. Students were surprised at how many false profiles there were that deceived them and how careful they need to be when accepting on-line friend requests as well as carefully considering what information they will share on-line.   

We has a quick Arts’ Night performance practice in the auditorium today. Students are asked to bring in their costumes and props by Friday. Our performance will take place on Wednesday, May 30^th at 1:30 pm and 7 pm at the City Church. Busing permission forms for this event are due tomorrow.
