Daily Work Feb 18th

PLEASE READ the "Schedule for February 17, 18, 19" FIRST!! This not only tells you what activities to expect for each day, but it also gives an approximate time for each activity! (This means how long you should be spending on each activity)

What's That Say?: Open the word attachment titled "What's That Say?". This is the instruction page for the activity, but you will be creating and completing this activity in google docs. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST! If you take photos for the activity, you will need to email them to your school email, then upload them to your computer (like I showed you for downloading and uploading Kami documents) so you can add them to the google doc.

From the Page to the Screen: Continue working on the book to movie poster. The instruction page titled "INSTRUCTIONS: From the Page to the Screen" is attached here again just in case. You must use the actual activity titled "From the Page to the Screen" from yesterday's daily work, since you have to open it and type your summary. Remember, if you cannot open the assignment with Kami to type on it, please write your answers on a separate sheet of paper, or type it in a separate google doc.

IF POSSIBLE: DEAR time for at least 15-20 minutes total. Remember, you can add them up over the day, you do not have to read that amount of time all at once.

I will have two google meet sessions: one at 9:30 am and one at 1:30 pm. These meetings will last 20-30 minutes, and are for questions and answers only. I will not be teaching any lessons during these meets. I urge you to look at the activities BEFORE the meet so if you have any questions, you can ask at that time. Remember, if you have a question, someone else may have the same question. Better to answer it one time for all than 35 times individually.
