Today was the first day of 8th grade for the Class of 2015. We began class with the alphabetical seating chart, followed by students filling out their book cards and agendas.
The focus of today's lesson was on the proper way to summarize their weekly science news articles. Using the Moodle site, students were lead through a tutorial on the correct site for retrieving articles, the requirements for the summary, a link to the template, and a sample news article on sugary soft drinks. The bell rang before we completely summarized the article, but students got a pretty good idea of what is required. Plus, they also got to experiment with a cool new web 2.0 tool called "Wall Wisher".
Their first news article is due on Tuesday, September 7th, and their first quiz will be Friday, September 10th.
