                                                       What we Did

Today in class all we did was talk for about 5-10 minutes at the beginning of class about reading your novel and responding to The Morris Ward Minute. Then we split it to groups that Ms. Lees randomly chose for us. While in our groups Ms. Lees gave us all samples of note taking webs from a university. With the webs we looked over them and gave them and overall letter grade. On another separate piece of paper we wrote pro's and con's about the webs we got. After everyone was finished we put our webs up in front of the room with their letter grade and pro's and con's and had other students come up and put a red sticky note on your web if they think you gave this web the wrong grade or they put a green sticky note on the web if you think they gave the web the correct grade. For the last 10 minutes of class we read our novels while others put sticky notes on the webs we graded

                                                    Why We Did This

We did this in class today to learn about what makes a good web so when we create our own webs we know what we should do if we want a good letter grade. Ms. Lees split us up into random groups so we can learn to work with others and agree and disagree with one another. I think that this showed us what a great web makes and what an okay web makes.

                                                         Connections

I think that we could use this as many tools in the real world. For example, we could use webs to create notes. I know that in some classes they assign homework were you need to create a web, such as Science. If you want to get good grades on those types of projects you need to know how to create a good web. Even in university you need to create many webs.

                                                          Homework

We had no homework assigned for today. But, we still have old homework to finish. Such as, FINISH READING YOUR NOVEL, comment on two of the blog posts of others in your group and tell them how you think they are doing so far, REPLY TO THE MORRIS WARD MINUTE and get feedback from your peers on your genius hour project. We will be presenting our progress so far to class most likely tomorrow.

                                                               Tips

While you are writing webs make sure the printing is neat and large anuf to read and make it stand out so people want to read it! And make sure you are getting feedback from your peers about your genius hour project!
