Learning Log for January 16th

Hi Guys,

Yay! We are getting back on track with these Learning Logs! Anyhow, here is today's learning log...

What We Did:

- Worked on our webs about our novel's setting: we got together with the people in our novel study group, and finished taking notes on our heading's subjects. Examples of these headings could be Geography, Clothing, Social Structure, etc. These headings must be only about the setting and time period of your novel, not the characters. After we finished taking notes and connecting ideas to other ideas, we planned the web out on paper so that we might see where everything will fit.

Why We Did It:

-Novel Webs: We are making these webs to better understand the setting and time period of our novel. This will guide us into learning more into learning about the history in the time period of our novels, as we must research many subjects. This will also help us in our oral communication skills, as we have to be able to collaborate and work well with our group. Also, this helps with organisation and planning skills, because we have to be able to fit things on our web in a way that makes sense.

Connections/Reflections:

-Novel Webs: This web will help us if we wished to be historians, history teachers, or archaeologists, because we learn a lot about a certain time period. Also, this can help us in meetings, as we will have good collaboration skills.

Homework:

- Finish taking your notes on your subjects that you are responsible for.

-Finish and hand in your paragraphs if you haven't already done so. Remember, the order of which they must be in is:

• Rubric/Checklist
• Good Copy
• Draft(s)
• Outline

That is all! Next up is... Hannah!
