Dear Class:

Work on your Autobiography first. Give yourself 20-30 minutes today on the Reading Diagnostic...remember, I would like it completed by this Friday. Work on CIS if you are done with your rough draft and Reading Diagnostic.


Reading

Reading Diagnostic

Click on this video to see how you get to My Learning Express in Oregon CIS. You will complete a Reading Diagnostic Test, as noted in the video, and submit your results to me.
Please have the Reading Diagnostic done by Friday, October 27. Thanks.
Once you have finished the Reading Diagnostic, you will do another one for Spelling and one for Writing. The linked video will show you where to go.


Writing

Autobiography

Please click on this link to open Signal Words and Sentence Frames.
Please click on this link to open the Narrative Writing document.

You will use 3 of the 5 functions of language within your autobiography.

Watch this video after Mr. Green-Hite's presentation. It will help fill in the holes for anything you may have forgotten. It will also help if you missed today's class.

Here is a presentation that breaks down how to piece a paragraph together. This is just an example for an introduction. It is not a full paragraph, but I underlined language from the Elaboration/Description Function...since I chose that function for this paragraph. Remember, you are doing 5 paragraphs for your rough draft...not just an introduction.

Once you are done with your rough draft, go back through and highlight in yellow the key words and/or sample sentence frames you used to create each of your paragraphs. Remember to upload it into Google when you are done for the day, but keep it's Word formatting.

Oregon CIS
Work on "Where Am I Going?" Here's a short video on where to find Career Learning Areas, Clusters and Occupations in CIS. This will help with your two worksheets.
1. "Cluster Exploration" Activites
2. "Where Am I Going?" Activities
Questions in the box on the right.

Remember, CIS worksheets need to uploaded into your CIS account, not your Google.
If you are done with everything above, check out this video on "Brain Magic". Pretty cool.
