10/18 Friday

1. Free Rice-It's Friday so that means that it is time to play some Free Rice. Play only vocabulary.
TODAY'S SCORE TO BEAT=888

2. Wordle-It's time again for us to express ourselves.  Today we will be using word clouds to create a gallery of words all about you.  Many web sites offer word clouds and let's try Wordle first.

Step 1:  Go to Wordle

Step 2:  Create your word cloud by typing in words that describe you. Do not use your last name anywhere in your Wordle. Be expressive!  Press "GO" when finished.

Step 3:  Save your wordle to the public gallery, but do not put your last name in the description.

Step 4:  Copy (control-c) the embed code at the bottom of the page

Step 5:  Paste (control-v) the embed code into an email you will send to me. Your email should have the title "Norman-Wordle"

3. Book Cover and Crossword-Take this time to finish these two assignments. (if you have finished with both, then you can play around with Wordle some more)

4. Independent Reading-Grab those books and get reading!

5. Age of Explorers-Grab those notebooks again...it's time to take some notes!

6. Food Project-In groups of 2 or 3, you will be creating a Google presentation on a certain food. I will be selecting each group's food. You will thoroughly research your food and use the information you find to answer the following questions:

-Name of Food

-Other names for the food

-Country of origin (where did it come from)

-Number consumed each year

-Various uses for food

-Different varieties of food

-One awesome recipe using your food!

Your presentation should be at least 9 slides (including a title page.) You should also include pictures.
