15.  At the signal, Open a “Glog” on on your screen. Have your partner help you if you don’t speak Spanish.  Take notes about the “Glog” on a sheet of paper.  Make sure your notes are comprehensive; you won’t get a chance to re-visit the “Glog” and you will need the notes to complete the next part of the activity. You have 3 minutes!  At the signal, repeat the process with another “Glog”.

16.  Go back to the Project worksheets page on the Wiki  Download the Quiz document.  At the signal, take the quiz—this is done by yourself, using the notes you took.

19. CCSS= Common Core State Standards

20.  Since 2010, 45 states have adopted the same standards for English and math. These standards are called the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Having the same standards helps all students get a good education, even if they change schools or move to a different state. Teachers, parents, and education experts designed the standards to prepare students for success in college and the workplace.

22.  Alone: Think about how you can adapt this project to YOUR needs for YOUR students.  Think about how the components of the adapted project would support the CCSSs.  Talk with a partner to share your thinking. Ask for help in brainstorming ways to adapt the project to better meet the CCSSs.  Be ready to share out.

23.  I love to hear about your projects.  Please TELL me when you do a fantastic project with your students, whether you adapted it from this, or whether you it’s just something you loved!  Shoot me an email! lmatchett@pausd.orglmatchett@pausd.org Thank you!!
