Exit Interview Ticket

Please take the time to thoughtfully provide your opinion and feedback on the Exit Interview Ticket. I will read and take careful consideration to each of your responses, so please take your time and be as candid as you feel comfortable with being.

I have learned so much from each and every one of you and if you would like for me to provide you a reverse exit interview reply I will be happy to do so.

Congratulations to each and every one of you on your growth and accomplishments this year.

Using Google Drive

Today we begin testing and refining the technical writing that you did prior to the ECA.  Each group will have a set of instructions, written by other classmates.  Today each group will be working with Google Drive instructions.  Remember that the purpose of this activity is to come up with the most accurate and helpful technical assistance guide for next year’s freshmen.  Each group will end up writing a final guide that will be presented to the class and must include everything needed for a new student to preform these functions on their iPad.  This is a graded assignment, and extra points will be earned by the group having the set of instructions that we determine to be the most accurate and easiest to follow.

For the Google Drive instructions you must include:

How to make a folder.

How to share the entire folder with Mrs. Scales

How to copy and use the following presentation and then share the copy with Mrs. Scales.

Habit of Mind Portfolio

Just as an update, (because for the first time in history Mrs. Scales didn’t get lesson plans posted this week) tomorrow we will be moving on to Canvas.

ECA – We ARE Ready

We have worked all year to increase our reading and writing skills to a level of critical thinking that will shine on the ECA.  Get a good night’s sleep.  Eat a good breakfast. Relax, read each word carefully, and do your best.  I believe in you.
