Daily Assignments

5 04 2007

The students will have daily work in this class, and these assignments will likely cover a topic in one of their core classes. But the class will also follow a schedule, and look something like this:

Daily Agenda

Check your blog for messages (2 minutes)
Independent reading — check other updated blogs in the student blog list (5 minutes)
Today’s Assignment: In a blog post, Describe the lesson from today’s science class.
- The title of your post will be the topic of the lesson.
- The body of the post will explain the concept you covered in science.
- Attach a picture that fits this topic.
- Create a link to a source of more information, or an opportunity to perform an experiment using the topic your covered in class today.
- You may also attach a video to your page so that other students can see the science topic in action.

When you’re finished with the blog post, you may continue reading other student blogs and/or writing on a topic of your choosing.

The Daily assignments for the class can be quickly and easily distributed to the students via an RSS feed of the posts on this blog. And notice that I’ve tagged this post with “Daily Assignment” and “Science” so that students can quickly find this assignment by searching trhough some of the common phrases we’ll be using in this class.

I don’t mind if more students have blogs, but I have to reiterate the same thing I told all the people who’ve used this so far.

You have to be willing to participate in the assignments I’ve written up. You’ll definitely get credit for this work (in my class), and if you complete the first assignment, you can probably get credit in Mrs. Gafford’s class — but you’ll have to get her permission first.

Let me know Wednesday (when I’m back in class) who would like to participate.
