Week 15

Another day of winter weather warnings at CC!  I hope you all are enjoying our small snow event.  We missed Sydney again this week, but enjoyed having another visitor in class.  We had fun walking through the steps of the scientific method to perform our experiments on inertia.  Our fine arts segment produced some wonderful Monet-like canvases, which I am sure will be lining the walls of your homes.  Lots of informative presentations were shared with very clear points that the audience could pick out and remember.  No presentations are due next week.  We will spend that time discussing another type of presentation.  Stay warm and stay well!  See you all next week.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Week 14

Even though Sydney was out due to illness in the Wray household (Hope everyone is feeling better soon.), we still had a full house with our visitor, Sophia.  We talked about informative speeches and walked through the process of choosing a topic and 3 main points to cover about that topic.  We practiced an introduction and conclusion that stated and restated our 3 main points and discussed how the body of our presentation would contain more information about each of our 3 points.  Please prepare a 2-3 minute informative speech on the topic of your choice to share in class next week.  Remember, the audience should be able to easily identify your 3 main points.  Please let me know if you have questions or concerns.  Hope you all have a good week and enjoy our snow :).
