https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41 I will be sending a new one of these each school morning to your parent's e-mail! It'll contain all of our schoolwork for the day. Any assignment submissions can be turned in through our class site (Edmodo). You should aim for one hour of schoolwork each school day! Don't forget about Ms. Garbett's weekly French work (posted on her Brightspace site), which you can access through your BYOD page (https://byod.peelschools.org/), and Mr. Bieman's Music page, which you can access through Google Classrooms (https://classroom.google.com/). en-us 2020-05-26 15:22:29 UTC 2023-02-18 05:58:44 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f320.png markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/595034155 Nick and his baby brother play blocks.

Our third one is 'Inferring/Inferencing', which takes clues from a story and has the reader/viewer figure out for themselves (using these clues and their own knowledge to come up with a conclusion)!

Below there's an example we used earlier this year on a short story called 'The Case of the Murdered Husband'. If you don't remember it (or the 'Must Sees' of an Inference), check it out again! You can also re-read the story from the Padlet link.

After reviewing what an 'Inference' needs, read one of the following short stories below! There's five options, each with an Inference question at the end. Try and solve the Inference question using clues from the story (and knowledge from your own experiences)! If you don't want to read, there's a real-life inferring activity also linked, called 'The Lost Colony of Roanoke Mystery'. Watch it and tell me what you think happened to this lost colony, using clues from the story and your own ideas!)

INFERRING REFLECTION ASSIGNMENT
What inference can you take from the story you chose? You'll be writing it out in a response (either voice recorded, written by hand with a picture/scan taken, or typed up using your choice of a variety of online programs), including...

- fours clues from the text/yourself
- explain how these clues support your inference

I've attached a graphic organizer below to help you, along with an electronic link!

Please turn in your work in our Language Arts section on Edmodo!]]> 2020-05-27 20:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597836771 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597838452 2020-05-27 20:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597838452 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597838911 2020-05-27 20:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597838911 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597841781 2020-05-27 20:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597841781 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597842227 2020-05-27 20:35:20 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597842227 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597843096 We're going to be having our weekly classroom meeting over Google Meet this morning! It's from 10 AM to 11 AM. There will be a link posted on Edmodo at 9:50 AM today; all you need to do is click it (and be logged in to your student Google account) for access!

This is completely optional, with no assessment attached to it! It's meant to be there for anyone to drop in for a bit to say hello, ask any questions over our recent (or upcoming work), and work on our Visual Arts activity together!]]> 2020-05-27 20:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597843096 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597844215 2020-05-27 20:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/597844215 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601365351 What really happened to this settlement? ]]> 2020-05-29 15:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601365351 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601371253 2020-05-29 15:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601371253 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601524565 Today we're going to be working reflection or symmetrical art! We've already are used to a number of sites that helps us with this, such as...

PIXEL ART
http://www.pixelator.co/

SYMMETRY ARTIST
https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/symmetry-artist.html

...and we're going to be investigating a number of other sites that help us with this! (There are a number of high-quality artist examples of symmetrical work; remember that symmetry is shown in lines, and doesn't not need to be shown through colour!)

Our work for today (after investigating the new sites) is to create a piece of symmetrical work using any of the online aids, and then using a drawing tool (such as pencil and paper in real life, or Sketch Toy online https://www.sketchtoy.com/ ) to trace it out and submit that! We'll be practicing this in our online classroom meeting today too!]]> 2020-05-29 16:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601524565 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601528018 2020-05-29 16:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601528018 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601528906 2020-05-29 16:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601528906 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601529285 2020-05-29 16:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601529285 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601529607 2020-05-29 16:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601529607 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601529906 2020-05-29 16:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601529906 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601530304 2020-05-29 16:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601530304 markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601530806 2020-05-29 16:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day41/wish/601530806
