Grade 7 Project

Hi everybody,
using your Reader's Notebooks, today in class I would like you to open a new database program called "InspireData" (that butterfly looking thingy) and create a new database called "yournameRN".  Then we will create fields for the data to be entered in and save Term one's reading data.

Next I would like you to explore different ways to map/graph/represent the data using the sort options.  We have talked a lot about INSPIRATION, now explore the website by clicking the picture on the side.

Lastly, create your own Inspiration web based on our magic 8 ball field trip and the skills you now have. Use these questions to guide your thinking....

Where can you draw inspiration?  What does Inspiration come from?  Why is inspiration important?  What are some examples of things that inspire you?

Hi Gang, 

Today in Creative writing develop your own character.  Sketch them first, then create a detailed description incorporating more than just what they look like.  How do they smell?  How do they move?  What facial expressions do they use?  What do they sound like?  Get deep.  This will be for marks!!

And remember sometimes spelling does count...

1. Grammar Review: goto the website Reported Speech1 and learn the key concepts to reporting speech by other people...Learn the concept well and take practice with the four exercises...Quiz tomorrow on this.
2. Listening skills:  When finished learning how to report speech try to continue working on what skills improve our listening abilities.  See what you can find on the internet and Add these to your inspiration web.

If you finish early you can try to the next grammar lesson on Reported speech2 or work in your messy book.
