Common Assessment #2

Monday we will meet in the Media Center for class to take our 2nd Common Assessment. This is the Common Assessment #2 review. You can access the document here: Common Assessment #2 Study Guide

This is one of the rare times that you don’t need to answer your questions on this assignment in complete sentences. If you are able to finish it, don’t turn it in. If there’s a question that you have trouble figuring out, skip it and come back to it later.

Presentations

Today is your final day with this partner. We will finish presentations today. The first half of class will be for presentations/finishing projects.

If you are presenting today, make sure you have your drawn and colored map out so you can give it to me when your video plays.

2nd Half of Class

All of the information below is for the 2nd half of class after we get new partners.

Climographs

Today you are going to learn about Climographs. Climographs are useful charts because they show you average temperature and precipitation for various places around the world. They are used by many different people. Meteorologists, farmers, and tourists are a few examples of different people who use climographs.

Tutorial Videos

I made a video that shows you how they work and how you can read them. To watch the video, go to the Video (V) Drive>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Climographs

Next watch this video: Go to the Video (V) Drive>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Copying and Adding Shapes in Word

Climograph Assignment

For your assignment download this document: Climograph Template   Answer the questions on the first Climograph. Make sure you use a different color font and that you answer using complete sentences. For the 2nd and 3rd Climograph (New York and Sacramento), you need to use the data from this document Climograph Data to create the chart for New York and Sacramento.

Whenever you finish, save it and turn it in.

Presentations

I made some adjustments to the schedule during the first part of the day today. Most classes still have multiple groups that aren’t finished. I will give you the whole hour today to get your project finished.

During the first half of class tomorrow we will do the rest of our presentations. If everybody presents, but there’s still some groups not finished, you will have whatever time is left, for the first half of class, to work and then we will get new partners and move onto something new.

After Presentations

If you aren’t finished with your project, you will have the rest of the hour to work on it. If you are finished, you need to:

1. Check Infinite Campus to make sure you have everything turned in (I’m still missing Landform Vocabulary from a couple of groups)
2. Read a book
3. Work on homework from another class
4. Visit Class Links

Presentations

We will start class today by having the groups that are ready to present, show their videos.

While I check attendance, you can double check the scoring guide to make sure that you have everything you need: Create An Island Scoring Guide

If you are presenting today, make sure you have your drawn and colored map out so you can give it to me when your video plays.

Inserting Music

You need to be 100% finished with everything before you worry about finding and importing music into your Movie. MUSIC SHOULD BE YOUR VERY LAST STEP! Here is the link to the music website that you are allowed to use. This is the only music website that you can use for this assignment. You can watch a video that shows you how to use this website and how to save the music. Go to the Video (V) Drive>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Importing Songs.

You also need to watch a 2nd video about the music at Video (V) Drive>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Importing Songs 2  Make sure you watch both videos or you won’t be able to import your song into Movie Maker!

*Note* The way the music downloads has slightly changed since the tutorial video was made. After you download the video, click the drop down arrow next to the name of the song at the bottom of the page and select, “Show in Folder”. You should be able to get things to work like the video showed you after you do this. 

You can view my example video that I created by going to the Video (V) Drive>Osborne>Sports Island Example
