1) The patterns in the location and frequency of past natural hazard events help predict future events.
2) The conditions that were present in the past during a natural hazard event must remain the same in the future for that event to happen again.

“If you have checked out a school Chromebook and are having issues connecting try the steps listed below.
1. Turn off the Chromebook (holding the power button is okay)

2. Turn the Chromebook back on.

3. Connect to your home WiFi.

4. You should see a screen that says “Sign in to your Chromebook”. Leave the Chromebook on this screen for 5-10 minutes.

5. Restart the Chromebook again.

Since the internet is a 24/7 type of format, note that any work that is turned in, the classroom teacher may not grade it right away, but within a reasonable amount of time, maybe a day or two or three, depending on the assignment.

Also, avoid emailing your classroom teacher back and forth. Be original in your email, unless the assignment is not clear, which is hardly ever. Genuine emails are always welcome!

Again, remember, since the assignments are formative in nature, there are no do overs, unless we are doing a summative evaluation.

Final note: Since the classroom teacher is also a human being and does have a life, that person may usually be offline AFTER 6-7 pm, but periodically present throughout the day; this means not strictly 7:40-3:05, but periodically.

Sundays are no no’s!

Keeping Track of Your Work

• To Do List: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_UMJ3vsnkkk33xJb7tEVsIOHVazuhmcCMdZkuXAp0tU/edit?usp=sharing
• Due Date Calendar: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EioXRKa-ieh4huE0N8GRWKjbrwePEdHFwF5JDjnlbX0/edit?usp=sharing

Try one or both of these by “Making a Copy” and typing your assignments into the boxes as you learn about them so that you don’t forget. Use different font colors or features to change the assignment title, or delete it completely from the list as you finish the assignment so that the file shows you what you currently have to work on.

As we move forward and since we have officially lost three weeks of in-school attendance, your cumulative bellwork score will remain as a formative total and will not be converted into a summative score, since the classroom teacher had planned on collecting 5 more bellwork assignments for this current marking period, which will not take place.

For any future in-school bellwork, the decision has not been made if it will be a cumulative summative conversion from formative assessment or simply a bellwork test.

Students: Use the link below for the slides to refer to your data analysis for earthquake and hurricane.

Below are the video links that we viewed in class on March 11 and 12, 2020.

In the following video, watch from 1:31 to 4:53 for Hurricane Tracking.

In the following video, watch from the start of the video up to 1:30 (90 seconds).

Start Date: January 29, 2020

Last Update, Due Date: March 12, 2020

Students: The following is the list of vocabulary for our Unit 8.6 that will be continuously updated. This means that you will need to check this list every couple of days for updated new terms that will be added, as we learn them in class through our study of the second unit, Unit 8.6.

Avoid waiting for the last few days to begin your work on the terms below. Therefore, the classroom teacher suggests that you get cracking now. This means today, Thursday, January 09, 2020.

Remember that each Frayer model must include the definition of the term, its characteristics, an example, and a non-example. Note that if an example is not available to you, a picture can be sketched to represent the concept that you are working on.
