Google Lit Trips (And Chapter 4/5)

Today's Goal: Students will understand that our established communities are vulnerable to the forces of nature. Today we'll continue working in our dialectical journals after reading two chapters in A Long Walk To Water

Agenda:

1. Share out some videos from yesterday :)
2. Read Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 of A Long Walk to Water.
3. Dialectical Journal!
4. Google Lit Trips (Try this out, see if it works, explore. You can do this at home if you like, but all I NEED you to do is download it. It's super super cool, I promise!)
5. Social Contract check-in

Dialectical Journal

You started this earlier this week in Google Classroom/Drive. Keep working on it! You can make improvements at any time! :)

BONUS- Google Earth Lit Trip Directions:

1. Go to Google Classroom and Open the file called "Google Earth Map File"
2. When you open it, click on the "Add to Drive" symbol in the top right. Then close it.
3. Go to Google Earth. Let it Load.
4. Click  then click settings.
5. Scroll all the way down and turn on the setting that says "Enable KML File Import."
6. Click Save.
7. Go to "My Places." (It looks like a little bookmark.)
8. Click "Import KML File."
9. Click "Open from Google Drive"
10. Find and choose the file that is called "Google Earth Map File.kml"

Now you have a fancy map!

This fancy map takes us on the journey of Salva and Nya and gives us pictures and questions and videos... It's amazing! Go explore it for fun times.

Reminders/Homework:

• Read your independent reading book!
• Work on your dialectical journal for Chapter 1-5 if you need to add more detail than what you were able to do in class.
• Achieve Article: "What is 9/11?" due on Friday by midnight (NO thought question)
• A CHANGE: Next week, BOTH Achieve articles are due by FRIDAY at midnight. I think this will make everyone's lives less stressful. You have between Saturday and Friday to complete two articles. You will receive an email in Achieve sometime this weekend that states which article is required.
