Tuesday/Wednesday Aug 23rd & 24th Days 5 & 6

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.
