At first today Mr. Finley told us about the blog rubric. It is now up and running so bloggers should use that to help with blogging. If you think your blog does not correct, you can change before the November. Also, we now have to write two comments on the blog. This does not mean that we need paragraphs. You can ask questions, answer questions, and/or add information forgotten by author. Sentences like, "I like this blog," is not allowed. November and December have been grouped together so you need two comments during the rest of this month and next month.
We then talked about the two websites we had to write the critique on. If you did not write down any new parts in either of the websites then that is something you would want to do. We then went around the room and listened to what people liked or disliked about the two sites.
Some things they said were:
- The cells alive gave a good dicription of the different parts
- The cells alive broke it down
- Cells alive was eye catching
- some people liked how Inside of a cell zoomed in with a video
These sites are now resources we should use. These are located in the cells page on the school website.
We then got books dealing with the characteristics of life. The book is "Cells and Heredity." We went to pages 9 and 10. We read them and then answer this question:
- We argue that four characteristics of life is not enough (the books states so). Through your own research, see if you need to add any to the list they have. If you do, list what they are and what they mean.
Most people did not finish so Mr. Finley is going to scan these pages onto the computer and post them on his website so that we can complete it for homework.
