Friday 9.3.10

              At the beginning of class today Mr.Paek gave us a homework sheet that has all of the assignments for this unit.  On that sheet it says we have a deer project to do.  He has changed that project to finding 10 pictures on the internet about the oil spill in the Gulf.  Five of the pictures can be the general aspects of the spill, and the other five have to be on five specific aspects of it such as:  animal life, fisherman, tourism, BP, or local people. Keep in mind that all five pictures have to be on the same subject.  Then we have to narrate each part on a digital storyboard, which he will give more details about later. 

                After this we went on a nature walk in the back of the building.  There we had to finish page 14 in the new unit packet we received at the beginning of class.  Two things we learned were that producers produce air, and consumers eat, and are live.  Producers consist of plants, while consumers are animals and bugs.

When we got back we logged onto the Glenbrook South website, and went to Google apps at the bottom left, and then logged onto that. From there agree to the terms and answer their questions (for the birthday make sure you are over 18).  Next we went to Google docs on the left. We had to create a new document and to do that you go to Create new near the top left.  Before you do this though decide who will be the one to create it.  The person that creates it must then go to share and type in the name of his/her lab partners and Mr.Paek for the Rip-o-meter project.  From there once you are do that each person has to give a color to their name and put it at the top so that Mr.Paek knows who did what(you must use your color for all of your writing).  Next he taught us how to change the name of the document, and what to change it to.  The person that created the Google doc goes to the top left where it says Untitled Doc, click on it and then changes the name to: Period 8 leaf lab and everyone in the group's name.

Then go back to the home page and go to student email on the bottom.  Type in your username and password, once you are in open the blog invitation.  You need a Google account and if you don’t have one go to create Google account and use your own email to create a Google account.

The homework is to read sections 1.2 and 1.3 for Wednesday, and finish page 14 of the new unit packet.
