03.30 - Quote Cab, Q3 Revisions

At the beginning of class today, I introduced everyone to a game focused on identifying effective quotes called "Quote Cab." We reviewed the directions for this game and then played a round. We will work more with this game tomorrow.

"Quote Cab" - Introduction

"Quote Cab" - Episode 01

Next, several students helped me to return work for quarters three and four while I handed out grade report sheets. We then addressed revisions and opportunities to improve assignments to a 4 (see below).

Assignment: Sinkhole reading processing questions
Revision Feedback: 
In questions five and six, be sure to address skills and knowledge people need in working around sinkholes as well as challenges they face (some responses looked at one or two of these points, but not all three).
For a 4: Integrate quotes from the article to focus your writing and support your ideas.

Assignment: Speaker presentation notes (Competitive Long Distance Runner)
Revision Feedback: 
Make sure you have notes on each of the planned questions.
For a 4: Write a paragraph summary of the interview that synthesizes important information from the talk, paraphrasing key ideas and integrating important quotes from the speaker.

Everyone then had the rest of the period to work on revisions or to continue doing research for their future exploration project. During this time, I met individually with people to answer questions about quarter three grades or assignments.
