First Video Assignment

Hey everyone, 

By now I have met mostly everyone and have had both Red Day and White Day classes at least once. On Friday (Red Day), we created the framework for our Class Constitutions in each class.  There were some pretty amazing ideas brought forth, and if we work together all year like we did on Friday, then this school year is going to be great.  

Also on Friday, the Red Day classes received their first homework video assignment.  If you are viewing this in the mobile version, here is the link: http://bcontext.com//bfile/player/fyyyzb/?auth=S4A5U8LRNL66NBNWYIPNKQ3FW54GXY08PDSGIID31NRRKU39PH.  Red Day classes also received their video guide sheets as well.  On the sheet, the first section is just notes that students will take on their own.  At the beginning of the video, it talks about the goals of the video.  The goals do NOT have to be written down.  All students do for this section is write down things that will help them in being able to meet those goals.  Students choose what they put here.  Next is the vocab section.  This video has 3 vocabulary words.  Colonization, Conquistador, and Columbian Exchange.  The definitions need to be written in this section for all 3 words.  Next is the summary section.  What would you put here to tell someone what the video was about if they did not watch it?  Just sum up what the video was about.  The last part of the sheet is the IQ (Interesting Question) section.  Come up with 1-2 interesting questions that you have after watching the video that you would not mind being shared in class.  If you are having trouble watching the video at home, or it just isn't working, feel free to come see me Monday or Tuesday morning (Tuesday or Wednesday for White Day students).  Also, feel free to contact me if you are having other troubles or need questions answered.  Remember to PAUSE and REWIND as much as you need to!  See you all tomorrow!
