No I will not want to do it again. 8L 3809]]> UPOINT\3809 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:35:08 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=182 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=181

Subject: New way of doing chapter

With each topic you will be expected to do two things to complete this assignment: (I will be taking a grade on your blogging so it is important to complete it each time we blog.)

1.       First you will reflect on the topic I have given. After logging in, delete everything in the box and begin your blog by putting 12-17 (or what ever the date is), 8_ (teacher's initial), & your initials. It will look like this: "12-17 8BKF" Use complete sentences and you must write at least a paragraph. (No less than 5 sentence each topic.) We are not texting so spelling and punctuation counts!

2.       On this one you may read other student's reflections and make comment to other student’s reflections. I will not be grading the comment but if I read any negative comments I will take points from you blog grade. Please don't use the above format when commenting on another student’s blog so I can tell which it is is: reflection or comment. Comments should be positive in nature or contain constructive suggestions. Any negative or rude comments will cost you the points for that blog assignment.

 You are also welcome to return to the blog and add comments at other times during the week.

I am hoping that this blog will give you a voice in the classroom.

Topic:

Ok we have tried something different for the chapter, did you like it or not? Please be specific about what you liked or didn't like. How could it be better? Would you like to do it again? Do you have another ways we could do the chapter, again be specific. Have a great break and I'll see you next year. This blog will not be on 2nd quarter but will be the first grade for 3rd quarter.

 

======================================== 12-17 8LWS I like this way to do new chapter. Because I can't do listen and write at same time. So I do exactly same thing what this time we do at ESL. And we can take bonus point too. So I want do next chapter this way.]]> 4634 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:33:52 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=181 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=180 12/17/09 8L I thought that the worksheets for the social study assignment was fun. I liked that over the other way we did our worksheets for how we started the new chapter. I hope our class liked this as much as i did because i want to continue having worksheets like this.]]> UPOINT\2725 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:33:42 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=180 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=179 8LmL i like 5-1 because it talked about immigrants how hard it was for the immigrants. immigrants had to go through hard times and stuff like that. i think that immigrants were brave for all the things they did. immigrants were poor but they still made it, will at least some of them]]> 4765 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:33:32 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=179 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=178 12-14 8L JD not really because our class had a lot of problems to. ]]> UPOINT\2810 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:30:41 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=178 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=177 12-17 8L GB I did not like this at all!.This was by far the worst unit that we have done in history all year. We took down the notes and wile the people were presenting nobody was paying any attention because they all ready had it. Then if somebody did something wrong or left a little bit of info out they did not get full credit. So i think that we should never do this ever again. ]]> UPOINT\2935 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:29:48 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=177 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=176 I think this new way of teaching the chapter is awesome. I would love to stand up in front if the class and pretty much teach the class a note slide. I believe that doing so will help others how to become more social. We also learn, not only from you, but the other students. I highly encourage you to continue with this new method of teaching. Thank you for your time and effort and I hope you will continue with this method of teaching! ]]> 4636 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:28:51 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=176 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=175 12-17 8-L D.S- I think that it was fun. I did not get my number called but I was ready. I think that doing the chapter that way would be the perfect way to get better at speaking in public. I heard people complain about how the did not have a slide down and how they will lose points when that is their fault so they deserve to miss points. ]]> 4341 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:28:02 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=175 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=174 12-14 8L JD I didn't really like this because we already new everything the people who went up said so in my mind going over the slides was useless]]> UPOINT\2810 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:27:40 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=174 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=173 12-17 8LML I think the new way we are doing the chapter is great. To me, it is easier to just write it down straight from the book instead of listening and waiting for what to write down on the number. Also, it allowed me to get bonus points, which is also good. When I present, I think it helps me to present better in front of people. The name drawing is also good, because students who do not get their work done will try harder to get their work complete.]]> UPOINT\2927 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:26:00 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=173 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=172 12-17 8LKF I kind of liked doing the chapter this way, but I also didn't like doing it this way. There were some things I liked, for one doing the presenting in front of the class for a chance to earn bonus points was fun. I also liked having the freedom whenever you're actually taking the notes. Instead of having to wait on a slide while other people asked questions you can go on to the next slide and finish it. There was one aspect that I did not like. Some of the questions were difficult to find, even with Mrs. Fuller's help. I think that a good way to divide up the chapters would be to have the very long important chapters where Mrs. Fuller tells us the notes, and the shorter easier chapters where we do them ourselves and present them to the classroom.]]> UPOINT\2848 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:24:32 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=172 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=171 12-17 8LMT I really enjoyed the new way of doing the packets. By looking the information up, I learned and remember more. I also liked the five bonus points for presenting. To make it better, I would let students choose if they want to present or not. This new way made the chapter easier to understand, and I would definitely do it again.]]> 4592 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:23:47 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=171 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=166 12-17 8L LMH I think that the new way of doing the chapter is really great. I like it because we can work at our own pace and its not as time consuming as the old way. I didn't like the old way as much because either we were going to fast and i didn't get all the information or we went really slow and it seemed to take forever to get done. I think that the only thing i would change is that when there is only enough slides for a few people in the class to present for bonus that the other kids are excluded from the bonus points. Its not very fair to the kids who didn't get their number drawn, even when they deserve the points more than other people who get the points. I don't have any ideas about how we could do the chapter. Merry Christmas! ]]> UPOINT\3612 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:20:11 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=166 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=170 12-17 8L BN This quarter we tried something new for the chapter. I liked what we did because it allowed us to better memorize the facts and it was easier to get through the whole chapter at a faster rate. The only thing that i did not like was that not everyone in the class got to present. I think that maybe we should switch off every chapter or so, so that the people who do not like it can have their time and the people who like it can do it that way. Also, if the people who like the new way for the fact that it is quicker to take notes, then they can take the notes out of the book on their own. I think that this way of doing notes was a very good idea. ]]> UPOINT\2861 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:21:52 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=170 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=169 12-17 8-LZR I think that the new way of doing the chapter is better than the old way.That way you have to wright something good for everything. So that way you cant just wright like 2 words for a thing and be done with this is better. But some people think different and i cant dis agree with them because some people hate public speaking. So in my opinion this was the best chapter ever. Also i really do think that you should defiantly do this more for another chapter or maybe more. This is defiantly something that you should keep going for years to come.]]> UPOINT\3002 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:21:15 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=169 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=168 12/17 8-L WF I really like the new way of doing things because this counts as you getting in front of the class. It also takes a lot less time then having Mrs. Fuller say the same exact thing over and over again. It could probably be better if their was a bigger chapter so that then everyone will be able to get a turn. I would love to do this strategy again. I would like like to do that same strategy, as well as do the notes on the computer, that would be really cool.]]> UPOINT\3751 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:20:35 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=168 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=167 12-17 8Lbm 1.I really liked how we did the chapter this time. I also really like how we have a chance to earn 5 bonus points. Doing the chapter the old way was boring and non exciting. Also the old way was slow and the new way is a lot faster. Now we can get to the test a lot quicker. ]]> UPOINT\3573 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:20:26 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=167 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=165 12-17-09-8LJW well the packets, and tests are really easy for me. You can stand in the front of the classroom and talk and I'll pay attention and get every word you say. I don't like the new packets or tests, they seem harder then it really needs to be and i prefer the old packets and tests.]]> UPOINT\4504 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:18:56 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=165 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=164 i know ]]> 4765 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:18:10 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=164 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=163 12-17 8L SS I really liked how we did this chapter. I think that finding the information myself helped me to remember things. I also enjoyed presenting the slides because if you forgot a piece of information and another student talked about it in their presentation, we could easily add it into our notes, and i like to present things like that to the class. and i lost 4 bonus and got them all back and an extra one. So overall, i think things should stay the way they are and we should present to the class more!:)]]> UPOINT\4484 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:17:22 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=163 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=162 12-17 8G AC I think that this is a promising way of doing our notes and our tests. But it just isn't going to work with 8G. And i'm shure that it workedd fine with any of the other classes but we just talk to much. And im not saying any names cough (nathen) cough.]]> UPOINT\4305 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:48:22 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=162 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=161 12-14 8GES I really liked the way that we did the notes for this chapter, because doing it on your own really helped me understand the chapter more. Plus doing it on my own made it easier for me to study for the test because when it came down to studying I had already knew most of the answers! It could be better if maybe you had two students do a slide so that everyone could get a chance. I would really recommend doing this again because I believe that this would make my test scores go up. If we were to do something different I think that you should have 2 kids go up at a time! I really enjoyed doing this!! ]]> UPOINT\4518 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:47:28 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=161 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=160 12-17 8GBS I enjoyed the new way of doing the chapter. I liked it because it made the chapter more fun to study. It makes students more active in learning, instead of being bored and taking constant notes from the teacher, this way is quicker and more relaxed. If you miss something you can just go back in the book, instead of holding up the whole class, making everyone irritated at you. i would like to do this way again.]]> UPOINT\4026 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:46:44 GMT http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=160 New way of doing chapter http://up.up140.org/class/JH/fuller/Lists/8th Grade Blog/DispForm.aspx?ID=159 8-G JL I thought this method was not as good as the old way. It was harder for me to learn by finding answers in the book. It gave me more homework and it always had me second guessing if I had the right notes.
