1) Warmup—One thing people don't know about me is _____.
2) Hello Goodbye
Homework
Type up your Hello Goodbye chart on the computer.
Today's Hello Goodbye exercise compared different languages by charting common words like hello, goodbye, yes, no, etc. across different languages that the students speak. Students who speak two or more different languages have a big advantage in understanding the basic structures of language, so I'm trying to help the kids who speak only English to tap into this.
The homework is very simple but must be done on the computer using tables. This is partly to help students learn basic word-processing skills, but also as a kind of systems check—there will be later assignments that must be done on the computer for maximum score, and so this is a smaller assignment to help make sure students can access that capability.
• Students who do not have access to a computer can come into my room during nutrition or lunch or after school to use one of the four computers in my class.
• If your printer doesn't work you can email the file to pjm4649@lausd.net.
