Monday Aug 17th Day 4

3 Paragraphs about Me

Objective: Given access to a chromebook, students will be able to access Google Docs and write a 3 paragraph summary about themselves (answering specific questions), using the tools taught in class the previous session. 

Rationale: Students need to utilize the tools taught to them to ensure the learning becomes a part of their skill set.


Evidence: Producing the document and following the directions will demonstrate that students have acquired the basic skills of Google docs (word processing) and can apply those skills to an assignment.


WARM-UP: Before we start today, write a brief description answering this question:

IF YOU WERE TO SELECT A FOOD TO DESCRIBE YOU, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
EXAMPLE: SOMEONE MAY DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS AN OLIVE, THEY ARE PERFECTLY FINE BY THEMSELVES, BUT CAN ALSO EASILY BE A PART OF A GROUP
