Fractured Fairy Tale Rubric

Using our brainstormed list of expectations, I just whipped together a rubric for our Fractured Fairy Tales on a cool website called "Rubistar". The only problem is, I registered for the website back when I taught at Fielding and I was called "Miss Pollock", so that's how my name appears on the rubric!

If you want to refer to the rubric as you work, check out the link!

Where Project

Hunter found a cool new website to help with our research!

We completed our rubric today, hopefully it will help you while you work!

Red Light/Green Light - Skype Meetings

We have been having a lot of fun since Isaac (our iPad) joined our class! We've already brought in our Virtual Student teacher, Anna, a few times and we got to meet the hilarious and spunky Miss Paula and her grade fours in Spain! After a day of three Skype calls on Monday, we had a great class talk about what went really well (green light, keep it up!) and what we want to stop doing (red light - STOP!) during our Skype meetings.

Have a look and see if you can add anything to our ideas!

Skype Chats with Anna and with Miss Paula’s class

Green Light J	Red Light L
-people were good at speaking clearly	-calling out
-people laughed at the right time: like when Miss Paula was teasing	-rustling of papers
-there are some things we don’t understand (like “beep”!), we learn new things	-laughing when someone did something really silly
-talking with Anna is fun, but you should write down your questions ahead of time	-whenever the camera pointed at someone, they were doing “Gagnam Style”, it was a little embarrassing
-people raising their hands, not calling out	-it was hard to hear
-we didn’t know the kids in Spain yet, and even though we were excited, we didn’t jump on top of each other to say “hi”	-chatting with your friends while we’re Skyping
-if you agree with something, show it with a nod of your head or a small thumbs up	-calling out, even if it is “Yeah, I know!”
-most people were calm	-no one was supposed to be at the degu cage at all!
-when people were called on, others weren’t interrupting	-being really hyper, you will miss what’s going on and distract others
-we have lots to learn from other people, even if you don’t get a chance to talk, there are ways to participate!	-calling out and correcting somebody isn’t helpful, especially when someone is trying to concentrate
