Week 1, Day 4

Objective: SWBAT (Student will be able to...) understand morning procedures, begin doing bell work in the appropriate format, write in cursive (legibly), and work with Web 2.0 tools.

1. Bell Work today will be written down, in your spiral.  If you do not have your spiral yet, borrow a piece of paper and you will have to transfer the prompt into your spiral to be graded.

3. All writing in here is considered formal.
1. No contractions.
2. No slang.
3. Spell out all numbers under one hundred.
4. Avoid using personal pronouns (I, you, etc.)
5. Avoid passive voice. (if you insert "by zombies" or "with zombies"  and it makes sense...that is passive! Change it!)
6. Others that I will tell you.  
2. Bell Work: What do you want to be when you grow up?  Why? What steps will you have to take to make sure you get there? (be prepared to share!)
3. Make a copy of "Usernames and Passwords."
