Hello everyone! Today, I am at a meeting representing SMS to the area middle school language arts teacher group! You need to read and do the steps below to complete the activities for class!

What you'll need today:
 * Your assignment book
 * A pencil
 * Your DGP sentence
 * A chrome book
 * Headphones
 * Your quia login and password
 * Your google login and password (periods 3, 4, and 7 only)

Step 1: Watch this video to find out about the homework for this weekend!

Step 2: Watch this video to go over the answers to Thursday DGP IF YOU WERE ABSENT AND MISSED A DAY, please click here to watch a video that reviews Tuesday DGP and/or click here to review Wednesday DGP.

Step 3: Click here to go to quia to take your vocab test. Remember to click on the link next to class web page.

The test is called: Periods 2 and 6: Sadlier Oxford Level B Unit 8 GHP Periods 3, 4, and 7: Sadlier Oxford Level B Unit 8 20 word

Step 4: If you get a 90% or higher on your test, get a sticker! (They are under the pig.)

Step 4.5: ONLY IF YOU WERE ABSENT YESTERDAY: Click here to go to quia and take the quiz on The Giver. It is called Giver Chapters 1-8 Quiz (Steigerwalt).

Step 5: GHP classes, skip to step 6. Regular classes, if you did not finish typing your argumentative paragraph yesterday, you will do so now. Remember, you're going to:
 * go to google.com
 * log in using your school google login (first letter of your first name, first five letters of your last name, last three digits of your ID number, and then @student.parklandsd.net) and password
 * Go to the waffle menu and select your drive
 * Click on "shared with me"
 * Find the Argumentative Paragraph document - there is a red and black graphic in the corner.
 * Type your paragraph in according to the directions in the document.
 * If you need a visual refresher on how to log in to your google drive, you can check out this video for a reminder.

Step 6: If you finish the steps above and there is still class time left, you may work on: Study Island, [|Vocab Unit 9 bookwork], Getting to the Root of It, or DGP. You may not wander the internet, and you may not play games. GHP classes, you may work on your argumentative paragraph frames or your Bio Connection Essay, as well.

Enjoy the long weekend, and I'll see you on Tuesday!
