1. On TUESDAY, log in to Write to Learn using your PowerSchool ID and password.
2. On THURSDAY, log in and go to your Language Arts or US History Class (depending on which one you have) and complete the assignment. You have 30 minutes to do the work.
If you do not do a satisfactory job on the writing prompt, you will be required to attend and complete ICT on Monday or Wednesday so that we can help you improve your writing. This test is important, so make sure you do your best work.
That's it for now.

Immigration Google Trek Planning Sheet

The readings and the activity will be distributed in class.
Wednesday Virtual
With the same partner, start on the Google Trek Immigration project.
Here are the directions, so read through them carefully.
Immigration Google Trek Project Description
Hint: Place your icons/waypoints in the correct place. For example, put the first icon/waypoint on the Port City from which you are leaving.
Additional Instructions for Google Trek:
1. Each Icon/waypoint/Journal Entry must include at least 2 well-developed paragraphs (topic sentence and at least 3 supporting sentences). Remember, you are telling a story. Be sure that your information is HISTORICALLY ACCURATE (you will need to do some research).
2. You must add at least on picture for each Icon/waypoint. Be sure to copy and paste the URL underneath the picture. The more you try out different tools here, the higher your grade.
3. Do your best to be creative with the presentation of each waypoint.
Here's a Google Maps Tutorial if you need it (requires free adobe flash player).
And finally...
Here's a sneak peak at the Grading Sheet for your Google Trek. We will be discussing it in class on Friday.
