What we did today:
Today in Humanities class, we worked on our novel webs. We got into our groups and worked on the poster for most of the period. At the end of the block we did something called an “Oral Language Skills: Personal Record”. This is a chart with categories: Tell your idea, Ask questions, Listen respectfully, and Keep the conversation going. These all referred to the webs that we did and we need to answer these questions. Did I listen respectfully?...etc.
Why did we do it?
We worked on our novel webs in groups because we need to develop communication skills. Ms. Lees put us in groups to develop those skills and to connect each others thoughts into one answer. We needed to do the “Oral Language Skills” sheet to think about how we did as a group and if you contributed something to the answer. If you did everything you could in class that day, then the “Oral Language Skills” sheet would be very easy for you. If you did not pay attention and not contribute, then you need to write down how to fix the problem and then do it.
Connections beyond English:
Marvy: I understand how to communicate with others and try to understand their thoughts. I also understand what the criteria are for the project and that we need to finish it on time.
If you get hired for a job and have a meeting, you need to have good communications skills. If you attend a meeting and not say a word or not let anyone else talk, then you have poor communication skills. In order to improve communication skills you need to practice.
Homework:
Finish novel webs this week
Go to flex on Thursday if you need to finish your webs or paragraphs
