My School-From-Home Workbook! (Day 34 - Tuesday, May 26th, 2020) by Mark Giraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day34 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 2020-05-15 13:02:57 UTC 2023-03-16 23:36:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f6f0.png 'Cootie Catcher' Creation and Testing! markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day34/wish/575007127 We're going to be making, testing, and graphing the results of our very own Probability game! We'll be using the 'Cootie Catcher' template below, and creating between 2 and 8 results of our choosing (such as colours, numbers, words, phrases, etc).

Use the attachment below to help you create your own 'Cootie Catcher'! If you don't know how to fold it, here are some video instructions...

After making your own, ask those in your household to try it out! Make sure to record their responses (maybe have them try it more than once if you don't have a lot of people in your household), because our next step is to graph our results!

Make sure to include the following on your bar graph...

- Title and Name
- Names of X and Y axis
- Scale (what does your Y axis go up by?)
- Legend/Labels/Colours for X axis sorting of options
- Total amount of trials your Cootie Catcher was tested for

Please make sure to submit your graph on our Mathematics section of Edmodo! You can take a picture or scan and attach it, link a webpage if created online, or even just type up (or voice record) your results as best as you can!]]> 2020-05-15 13:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day34/wish/575007127 Interest Video of the Day markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day34/wish/575007132 Can you solve the most evil wizard riddle?]]> 2020-05-15 13:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day34/wish/575007132 Brainteaser/Riddle of the Day (May 26th) markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day34/wish/575007136 How many hours and minutes are there between 5:15 am and 10:23 pm in the same day?

Your poster can be on any aspect of the Coronavirus, from what it is, to how it spreads, to how to protect yourself, to miscellaneous important facts!

Before getting into what this poster needs, here are our three research links...
1. Coronavirus Explained Video (Simple) - https://youtu.be/MVvVTDhGqaA
2. Coronavirus Explained Video (More Advanced) - https://youtu.be/D9tTi-CDjDU
3. Coronavirus Explained Booklet - Attached below!

Your informational poster must include the following...

1. Coverage of the Topic  
 Details on the poster capture the important information about the topic and increase the audience’s understanding.   
Tell us something that we don’t already know, and will explain your topic!

2. Use of Graphics   
 All graphics are related to the topic and make it easier to understand.
Do your pictures directly explain/relate to your poster’s topic? 

3. Layout and Design  
 All information on the poster is in focus and can be easily viewed and identified from a few metres away! 
Eye-catching! Can we read this at a distance, and is it interesting?

4. Sources   
 All sources (information and graphics) are accurately documented.   
Where did you get your information? Is it reliable?

5. Mechanics  
 No grammatical, spelling or punctuation errors.   
 
 6. Message
Convince me (somehow, through pictures or words or any other method) of the message of your poster!

Using your own poster paper at home (or a program like www.canva.com if doing so electronically) create an informational poster on an aspect of the Coronavirus! It needs to inform/teacher the reader at least three things, have a cited source, have a clear message (not just random facts), and have eye-catching graphics and layout!]]> 2020-05-15 13:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day34/wish/575008052 Message from Ms. Garbett! markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day34/wish/593865800 Bonjour mes amis!
