Today at school Ms.Lees showed us some examples of the blogs that grade 9s did. When posting a blog what the expectations are, and how we should do it.
When it is not your turn to post, it's your turn to read and comment on what the other people posted. To give advice and/or add more details on what they wrote about.
After some explanations, we were told to get in to our blog groups and decide who is posting on which day for this week.
Ms.Lees handed out page 70 which is the South America land form questions. We spend the rest of the class working on our South America land form questions and map, using the atlas and worksheet to help.
Why we did it
The learning intention of going over the expectations of writing a post is to let people understand how we should do it so there won't be a lot of questioning and misunderstanding. Also there won't be posts that are not acceptable, for example only two sentences or informal language being used.
The purpose of the South America land form map is to help with the skill, follow the directions given. To learn more about the vocabularies snd the meanings of land forms. We did the picture dictionaries, but we had never label it on a map before, so it also helps with recognizing the difference of some similar land forms.
Connections
The expectations that we learned today can be very helpful, when creating other blogs for different purposes we can get an idea on what the expectations will be. In the future, whether it's at school or at work knowing how to share information on a blog is very important.
In all subjects at school or working on a project at work knowing how to follow instructions is a very big part of it. So that is why we have a lot of practices. When traveling to different countries an atlas will be very useful if you know how to use it.
Homework
Tomorrow Ms.Lees will let us work on our South America map, so you don't have to finish it today. The only thing is to make sure your portfolio is ready. Also remember to comment on posts!!! It counts as homework too.
Michael H will be posting on Tuesday
