This morning began with a math quiz on Transformations. It covered the topic of translation and rotation. Most of you finished before recess, which means good things for me and your understanding. After the quiz we watched 2 videos on rotation. See below.
Your homework tonight is to write a journal explaining the rules for rotating an object clockwise and counter clockwise in the coordinate plane. It is due tomorrow.
For language we covered the topic of Audience. Who the audiences are for different types of writing. We also discussed what the relationship was between the purpose for writing and the audience. We decided that when you have a purpose for writing you must also have the audience in mind so that it is relevant to the person who may be reading the text. For tomorrow you must bring a list of 15 examples of writing forms (lectures, articles, letters). We will discuss this in class tomorrow so hopefully you will have some ideas when we begin because half of our literacy period will be devoted to going to reading buddies.
After lunch we discussed our next history project. Where you will be responsible for creating a collector coin based on a person either from New France - grade 7s or Confederation - grade 8s. We watched the following videos and will discuss the project more in depth the next day we have History.
For tomorrow you also have the health lecture reflection due. 6 sentences along with your notes from the film. Please get this done tonight.
See you tomorrow...it's supposed to get warmer and I'm looking forward to the change from cold to warm! :)
