For those 421 students who are interested, please read the following email below about what you should do to send your invention. Please note that it must be sent to them by the end of March. If you can send it today, please do.
The email from Annie is as follows:
Good Morning,
They can email a powerpoint or compressed video directly to the invent@inventivekids.com email address (do not go through the website but use an email program instead). If the files are large, say over 5 mg, I can set up file sharing on drop box. Does this help?
Best,
Annie
I hope this helps! If you have any questions pertaining to your invention, please email Annie. Don't forget to state who your teacher is so that she can make the connection. If you have questions for me, you know the email: thereadingcafe@aol.com. You can't call Dial-A-Teacher because they are on vacation too! Just in case you are wondering!

Hi All,
Please do the following:
1.) Complete the vacation packet using the writing strategies I taught you in class. If the question asks you to argue your point, use the writing strategies I taught you for the sports argumentative essay using the modified testing writing strategies which is the Hook + Thesis, TEC (blending your evidence with your comments in one sentence, repeating it three times using quotation marks around the evidence) "The Bottom Line" method as your conclusion. If not, use the modified paragraphs for state tests which is the Hook + Thesis, TEC (blending your evidence with your comments in one sentence, repeating it three times using quotation marks around the evidence) and the SET dynamite conclusion strategy. Please refer to your notes. Due April 4, 2013.
2.) Class 8-421: Your sci-fi movie will be due on April 15, 2013. It will NOT be due when you return from vacation. However, I do need a draft of the script, neatly typed or handwritten, with all the stage directions/instructions, actions, etc. on April 8, 2013. The movie will be shown each day after you have taken the ELA test. This will be your "relaxation" break immediately after the test.
A rubric and outline for your sci-fi movie will be provided for you either via blogspot or in class when you return from vacation. Trust me your vacation packet will keep you busy. However, if you are working on your sci-fi movie and you need me to answer a question, email me.
