https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day21 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 2020-04-26 17:42:40 UTC 2023-03-16 22:24:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f680.png markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/day21/wish/531557908 How many triangles are there in this picture? The closest answer without going over will win (assuming no one gets it right on)!

Click here and post your answer!

Don't forget to either sign in (using your Google login, being your student number @pdsb.net) or include your name and riddle question on your post!
 
Mr. G will 'approve' the correct answers at the start of the next school day!

You can use our collection of books linked below (a Google Drive collection of books and an assigned collection of books in our Epic library) or resources available at your residence! You'll be submitting a research brainstorm (modeled below) before Monday, May 11th (when we start our rough copy). Your research brainstorm can be created in a variety of ways (I've made one on Padlet for an example) and turned in on Edmodo!

Your research brainstorm will need...
- 20 facts
- A title bubble
- A sources list (where you got your information, which includes, title, author, and publisher); including 2 or more sources
- A picture/sketch of your research topic, including a title and 4 or more labels

If you'd like to pick an animal or fantasy monster/creature not on the list below, write Mr. Giraldi and have resources (like books from home) available!

I've begun to do some research on Mokele-Mbembe (a fantasy monster/creature), and you can see my notes here! So far I have one source (good, but not yet the 2 sources you'll need) and 10 facts with pictures (good, but not yet the 20 facts you'll need), along with a hook/interest statement for his eventual good copy! I'm missing some facts still, along with a labelled picture of his research topic!

Research Notes Example -> https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/mokelembemberesearch

Today and tomorrow's work is simply on choosing a topic, reading up on it, and making a fact brainstorm!
