Monday,+February+6

Hi there! If you have me 1st or 2nd period, I may not be in class the whole time due to a meeting. Use the steps below to be successful today!

What you'll need for class: When you have gathered all of these items, you can start Step 1 below:
 * chrome book
 * headphones - you may use your own or borrow a set of mine
 * Hey! My headphones have a new home! They are on racks under the big printer (under the TV). Please, please, please, please. . . put them back neatly!!
 * assignment book
 * pencil
 * yellow MASTER IT packet
 * white body paragraph outline packet
 * DGP sentence (if you were absent on Friday or lost yours, there are extras in the blue basket on the round table)

Step 1: Take out your assignment book and a pencil and copy the homework from the board. I'm here today, just not in your class, so you can just copy it the way you usually do. And hey - remember to look at Step 4 to learn how to do the concluding paragraph!

Step 2: Get out your DGP sentence (if you need one, there are extras in the blue basket on the round table) and watch this video to review the answers for Monday's work.

Step 3: Get out your white body paragraph packet and your yellow MASTER IT packet. Use this time to finish your third body paragraph! Please take advantage of the teachers in the room if you are stuck! You absolutely need to have these three body paragraph outlines done! Need a refresher on how to do the body paragraph outlines (or were you absent when I taught it?)? Click here for a step-by-step video of how to do them.

Step 4: Watch this video to learn how to do step R of MASTER IT! R is for "wrap it up and restate your opinion in your concluding paragraph." You have to write your concluding paragraph for homework tonight, so make sure you watch this video first!

Step 5: Wow! If you manage to get to this step, you have been working really hard! You can now use any time that is left to get things done! I suggest either Study Island or Vocab 12 bookwork, since you have a computer in front of you, but you could also work on Getting to the Root of It or reading/doing questions for __The Giver.__ No matter what, use this time wisely - NO games, etc.
