For the first day of school, students were told of the significance of science news articles. I showed them where to locate these articles at a website called www.sciencedaily.com/. I also showed them the proper way to write their summaries, along with the locations of the summary templates both online and in the classroom. Each student read a practice article on the dangers of high fructose corn syrup in soda. We were able to complete the What, where and why sections of the article, and students were asked to complete the vocab section for homework.
In addition to finishing the news article summary, students also must return their "I read the handbook" page, the student profile form, and the emergency contact form to their 1st PERIOD TEACHER by Wednesday, September 5th.
Their first quiz will be on Metric Conversions, and it will be on Friday, September 7th.
