Progress Report: Week 2

Good morning, everyone.

I have delayed the progress report slightly to allow for a few late assignments to arrive. I will be posting the progress update for week 2 on both FreshGrade and at mrdocksteader.blogspot.com later today.

Today's tasks are:

1. Scholastic Learn at Home

Read the article I have selected and write a 3-2-1 list. If you need more to do, you can complete the additional activities at the bottom of the article, or you can make a 3-2-1 list any of the other three articles from that day as well. You will be asked to upload one of your 3-2-1 lists to FreshGrade sometime this week.

TODAY'S ARTICLE:
“Should Humans Go to Mars?” https://upfront.scholastic.com/issues/2019-20/111819/should-humans-go-to-mars.html#1030L

2. Daily 6-Trait Writing

Complete the posted worksheet. You may save the image and mark it up, copy it onto a separate piece of paper, or print it out – whatever works best for you. On Friday, I will post the answers, as well as your writing assignment, which will be due Monday.

TODAY'S WORKSHEET:


3. Financial Literacy

Write down your answers to the daily question. Save them. We will briefly discuss these during next week’s scheduled Teams meetings.

TODAY'S QUESTION: How much does a normal day cost (think about everything you may need in a day)?

4. Origami

Practice making this week’s origami design. On Friday, you will need to post a short video of you making the design on FreshGrade. If you need to make more paper, use this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZY_pN3f3Ok

THIS WEEK'S DESIGN:
