Weather PSAStudents began a project today designing a public service announcement about severe weather. Students are encouraged to create a PSA using DIGITAL media (for example, an online poster using Glogster rather than an old fashioned poster). All digital items should be turned in and shared with me using a link. If a student shoots a video, it should be uploaded to youtube (private view is fine) - all I will need is a link in order to view it. To create a glogster account, use my educator code: 815FBB Students may work in groups of up to 3 from the same class period. However, the students must bring in a note from home (signed) stating that parents are aware of the situation and some time outside of school may be required for this. Students are also welcome to work alone. Students in a group need to turn in notes by Friday at the LATEST. This project will be due Wednesday, 3/26. It is a project/test grade. The assignment sheet is attached below. Information to include that is NOT on the sheet is any information from the severe weather chart we put together last week. Students will need at least 4 cool/interesting facts.
Homework1. Study notes! Test Friday!
2. Keep working to complete mastery. Only two students have started turning in required documentation. 3. IT Chapter 17 questions are due tomorrow. Our test on weather patterns will be this Friday. The test will include:
