Rant Lesson 2 Wednesday

Since we have been busy with many unexpected items, I am combining earlier classes into this one so we have a outline of today's class.

Class Outline

1. Silent Reading
2. Presentations by Gabe C, Kiera, and Landon.
3. Journal 

• Use the same journal you used for the last activity (what others said about you).

• Make sure your journal is in your NLC folder. Beth will comment on it. If you do not have comments please ensure Beth can see it.

• Write at least 5-10 full sentences answering:

• What was difficult or challenging about the Express Yourself activity?

• What were you impressed by or surprised about in someone else's work?

• Do you think you really expressed yourself to your best ability here? Why or why not?

4. Twitter activity

You will use Twitter to tweet out reflections from the class or share something you think others would find interesting, using the NLC twitter account as your platform.

• Hashtags

• Pictures

• Links

When you take your turn posting to twitter, write your name on the calendar.
What are some examples of things we can reflect on via twitter?

5. Rants continued

• Get in your groups again. This time, use dictionaries, textbooks, online, to come up with definitions for each of your devices  you hypothesised about yesterday. In your shared doc (share with Beth) write down the definitions for each.

• Go back to the rant and find an example of each of the devices. 

• Find another group that has one of the same devices as you. Compare definitions and examples. Come up with a shared definition and list both definitions on a shared doc. Move around the room and do this for all devices.

• You were sent a shared doc with further instructions on devices.
