Tuesday, September 7th (ODD)

6th:  Today's vocabulary word is CPU.  The CPU is the Central Processing Unit in your computer and it is what makes your computer work.  I will be handing out a list of the keyboard shortcuts today so that you can see how you did during your detective work and then we will get started learning about the big boxy things sitting on your tables.  This reading will get us started and then we will see how much we know by completing a couple of activities: activity 1 & activity 2.


7th:  We will be continuing with our webs in class today.  If you finish with the content before it is time to leave you can add some new areas to your web such as Links (links to other websites that have similar items),
Employment Opportunities (paragraph about what you are looking for in an employee, questions you would ask in an interview, what positions you are hiring and how much they pay, etc.), Grand Opening (Information about your grand opening as well as any special promotions you are running that day or contests you will have, stuff you will be giving away, etc.).  Thursday will be your last time block to work on this in school and it is a half day so make sure you plan accordingly so that it is complete by the end of class on Thursday.  Let me know if  you have any questions.

8th:  Time for some action!  Today we get started writing our individual podcast scripts.  To get started you should read this short article about what to consider when writing your script.  Also, you should take a look at the rubric for the assignment so you know how you will be graded.  Finally, have a look at the list of what makes a podcast a "good" podcast from last week's class.  You will have two time blocks in school to write your script and also time outside of school.  Don't forget that we will be having a quiz on Thursday about Podcasts.  The review guide is the answer sheet that I gave to you in Wednesday's blog entry.  You should also know at least three of the characteristics that make a podcast "good".
