Hey students, I have purchased another 2 gigabyte flash drive, and plenty of read and write CD's to add to my read and write DVD's that many of you can not use or have a difficult time using because you have to burn a DVD not just save a file on it. I did this so that you can from now on save your images, and files of your projects so you can easily show them during your presentations in vivid color on the big Promethean screen. I also bought several extra large poster boards if you have not been able to get to a store that has large poster board that you can use in your presentation. The flash drive and RW CD's will be available for your teams. Remember to write your names on the CD. I will continue to purchase more CD's till all students have media to save your project material in a form that is as persuasive as possible. Remember these are CD's that can be read and written multiple times, do not throw them out, please. See you tomorrow. Mr. Woolsey. P.S. Don't stay up as late as I have to. I have to work, you need to get a good night's sleep so you can be sharp for the quiz.

Yesterday afternoon I was able to reserve the media center/library for students to continue and start the final steps of their first research project. Some students reviewed the information that will be on the quiz with me instead of working on the computers. Other students that were already done with their project presentation took the quiz and from what I have reviewed all did fantastic. Tomorrow take the quiz, no retakes, and then DEAR, any students that have finished their quiz already will start on the next part of chapter 3. I hope my attached rock sites attach correctly. See you tomorrow, Mr. Woolsey.

Today we had a very long white board warmup for which was a prep for the quiz. I was only able to reserve computers that are ethernetted to the server which makes them faster on Tuesday. Let's move the quiz back just one more day. I have attached the answers and questions to the quiz on my blog prior to this blog post. See you tomorrow.

Today I re-introduced the processes that form the three types of rocks that we have been studying. I modeled how to label and draw these three processes and how each class of rock given a different process can be transformed from a for example sedimentary rock or igneous rock into a metamorphic rock, or from an igneous rock with the help of erosion and time form a sedimentary rock. The students then went through the process of drawing and detailing each of these processes. I have moved the future test date from this Friday to next Tuesday. See you tomorrow.
