ENGLISH – 1^st trimester – Day 1

Found our assigned seats and tables

While being introduced to teacher,  we listed 10 things we noticed in the room - CONTEST for one-of-a-kind observations

Watched Cyborg video

In our table groups, we listed 10 abilities for the cyborg. We chose our favorite ability of the 10 and then created both a back-story (past) and a future for the chosen ability. Some classes illustrated their ideas.

Read introductory letter Click here to read introduction letter from Mr. Van Bragt.

Tornado, Fire, and Code Red drills explained

Shared table work with the rest of the class by explaining the ability we chose as well as the past and future stories about that ability.
