Wed./Thurs. Synchronous Time
Today we reviewed our upcoming due dates. Students were encouraged to write the due dates down. They are also posted in the Asynchronous Work section of my blog.
We reviewed how to check how many quizzes we have on ReadTheory as well.
We then signed up for Newsela and practiced how to follow the directions. We previewed the article and found words we don’t know. We used our vocabulary strategies to figure out what we thought the word meant. We then read the article and made a total of 10 annotations with our thoughts about what we are reading. This was due at the end of class or it was homework.

Your Zoom sessions are set up in your teachers’ Schoology courses. Should you have any Tech issues during Synchronous time (AM), you need to contact the Dearborn Technology Department 313-827-8400. Shutting down your computer (closing the Chromebook is NOT shutting it down) or making sure you are completely logged out of all other Google accounts on the device you are using fixes most issues.
