Project Based Homework Due 2.8.12

Hello All,

Please read the assignments below and pay attention to the due dates.

To kick off our new Argumentative Essay Writing Unit focusing on sports programming in schools, all students must watch the Super Bowl this Sunday. Please have fun and take mental notes. : )

Class 8-421

Due Date 2.8.12 - I am slightly changing the vocabulary word wall format that I gave to you in the beginning of the year. All students on the class list from Aemun Ahmar to Tatiana Iglesia (by last name A-I) must select an unfamiliar word from their nonfiction book, write it on the colorful vocabulary cards I will provide in class and staple it to the word wall. All students from Samuel Leon to Sumble Zaffer will do the same thing but instead of it being on the vocabulary graphic organizer, you will write it in the vocabulary section of your reading notebook. For these students, please be sure to write the date next to your unfamiliar word.

Due Date 2.8.12  - Select your favorite sport and create a How-to-home-video about how to prevent injuries while playing sports. You may have to do a little research for this and you can work in groups of 2-3 for demonstration purposes for the video. Please be creative, informative and safe. I will provide the rubric and task for you within a couple of days. (the video criteria will be posted on the blogspot)
