Donoher-ELA Assignments

Learners,
Fill in your last work documenter and turn in. Make sure it is complete.

Learners,
To get credit for the three Colorado Characters you watched, you will fill out the form attached about the them.

I would fill this out while watching the Colorado Character Presentation. Make sure they are facts that are just about that character. They shouldn't be things like they had children or had siblings. Most characters have these. Think about new facts that are only about the Colorado Character.

With all writing assignments, please make sure to watch your grammar and spelling.

Learners,

We will be done with ELA by Tuesday of this week.

Attend our meeting at 8:00 am on Monday to learn about details/expectations about presentations.

Our presentations will begin at 8:30 am. We are not adding a time to a slot because everyone's presentations will be after the person in front of them presents so please don't ask me for a time.

Be in the meeting and be ready with your google slides ready to present. We should not have to wait for you to log on or to show up.

You need to be ready to go when it's your turn. Same thing with poster boards, have them ready

. If you are wearing a costume, have it on. There won't be prep time between presentations.

Join with Google Meet meet.google.com/nzt-xxsj-gvw for both Monday and Tuesday

Do you have to stay for all presentations?
You do have to watch at least three presentations, but it would be great if you could watch more to support your classmates. They are supporting you;)

Expected behavior during presentations:
You enter muted
You are respectful and listen
You don't chat while they are presenting
If you are next...have your presentation ready to show

After each learner presents, three if you can ask a question about the presentation...only three. Raise your hand if you have a question AFTER they present.

After you present, submit your work to get a grade. I will have grades ready by Wednesday.

Did you finish your presentation?
Did you practice with a teacher?
Please do those before you sign up for your presentation time next week.
Please type your name in the spot you wish to present. We have to see your name on the sign up.

Learners,

Last week you gathered information about your Colorado Character and why they are important to Colorado history.

This week you will prepare for your presentation you will give next week to your class. This assignment is worth 40 points.

Options:
Create a poster board on your own- you can ask your teacher questions if you have them

Create a presentation using google slides on your own-you can ask your teacher questions if you have them

With the google slides option, you will have to click on the document, click on file, then make your own copy.

Make sure you don't forget to attach the finished assignment when you are done. I will not be able to grade it if you do not attach it.

Please do NOT type an essay. This is just helping you piece it together so you know how it should sound. We are only doing a poster board or a google slide presentation.

When you are done, make an appointment (This will appear on Wednesday morning at 7:30 am) to meet with your teacher to practice your presentation. I have attached two essays from last year so you can see how they should sound when you say them out loud. Your presentation should sound like a story.

Teachers will be available on only Wednesday and Thursday for learners to practice, so get your presentations done first.

Turn in after you practice presenting with your teacher

Learners,
When you complete your presentations, we will have a sign up to meet with your teacher to do a practice presentation using Google Meet on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

If you are sharing your google presentation, then you need to share, if you are using a poster board, you will just present and do not have to share.

Make sure that you click on the correct tab on the bottom to sign up. When you are ready for the meeting, invite your teacher to your meeting at the time you have scheduled to meet with her. Don't invite your teacher until it's time for your appointment.

Have you finished your Colorado Character research? Finish that first.
Listen to Chapter 9
Listen to Chapter 10
You will have a midbook test next week. Please listen carefully.
You do NOT have a worksheet this week. Just listen.

Learners, look on the bottom to see which Colorado Character you were assigned.

At our meeting on Monday we will talk about how to do the research on this.

Next, you will will do research on your Colorado Character> You each have your own copy already attached. Please do not try to make a copy or ask for permission to use. You already have permission to use this document.

You will be assigned a teacher who will guide you through this process and your hangout will be determined by which group you are assigned to. You can also use this group to reach out to your peers to ask them questions.

I will attach some resources, but you may need to get more information from other resources. Some of you chose non-typical Colorado characters and will have to find your own resources.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t4rfJAo3SbXG2JAJ2BcaBOQBZljygI9M/view?usp=sharing Black Kettle Example from student

We will be put into groups so you can ask questions about your research and questions about reliable resources. I have a video to help find reliable you with your research.

All you are doing this week is gathering information, that's it. You are NOT writing this week.
