=Here is a list of assignments I've received in SchoolFusion. If there is an assignment you've submitted and it is not shown below, please let me know. If you haven't submitted the assignment, please submit it in it's current state and you may continue to work on it.=

Comments made about the assignments are based upon the submission into the SchoolFusion site. Unit Plan comments will be made on each individual's page in the discussion area. Brochure looks good, Consider putting your name on the actual brochure. || X Presentation is full of great content. You may want to check the 1st and 3rd questions in the content area. || X Very clear directions on this preassessment. I also like the "student involvement" part to be student centered. || X Thorough list of citations! Consider adding some citations for images and sounds. || X This is a fun way for students to see that you are an "artist" and it's also a fun little paragraph to read. You may want to have a specific topic for students to choose from when they write their paragraphs. || X Seems easy to use. Do students know they will need all the components of the assessment in their writing? The student exampe doesn't reflect all areas. || X The two forms will help students to stay on track. Will you be presenting both of them at the same time? || X Directions are easy to follow. Once the students have read the story and found the similes/idioms, are they supposed to create their own similes/metaphors based on the book or is there a theme or topic to this writing? || X Fun activities for pair share! I like that you found an activity on the Intel CD to use for this. Onf of the activities calls for a use of "proverbs" where students have the beginning of it and finding the matching pair. You can have students write their own figurative language and add it to the class jar for pair share. || X The computer rules are great, especially the putting the red cup on the monitor. On the "ask" poster, you may want to include a comment about only visiting approved websites. || I like the publisher doc. Did you come up with the "crooked" boxes? 2nd page in the right hand box-boxes are misaligned. || X You have a great start on your presentation. Consider adding music to it since you have great tech skills. || X A fun way for students to get started in the unit! Color is fun and bold! Consider some multiple choice questions so it's easier for you to grade. :) || X Thanks for the note in the submission. Keep adding to the list of sites you use. || X The Powerpoint answers some of your CFQs and it's a great way for students to get started in the unit. You may want to include the "meat" of the lessons (historical information). || X Thorough expectations of the powerpoint, especially the research part. Don't forget to include a place for name and date. || X Having everything on one page is easy to follow and use. The part where students can again reflect on their presentation is a great way for students to look at their work again. In class, you may want to print the rubric on the other side. || X Wow! These directions are easy to follow and the graphics are helpful. It's great that they are for Office 2007. Will you post these on your class website? || X Great use of Newsmaker in the checklist. I also like that you will be using social bookmarking with your students. Would you consider using "Google docs" for your spreadsheet? Students can click on the things they completed and then it will show up on your spreadsheet. || X A fun way to share expectations while using a theme. I think you could do the same thing for your "Heros" project. I would make it like a comic strip or book so they can follow it like they do with a "Superhero." || Brochure looks good, Consider putting your name on the actual brochure. || X Great information! Consider looking at the different font sizes and types used and making them the same. || X A quick and easy way to know whether or not students know persuasion. Consider whether or not you want to include their feelings about learning this content. || X Great looking document. Keep adding to the list of sites you use. || X The color and graphics are so powerful and the activity is a great way to gauge students' understanding. You may want to move the phrase into the middle of the page. || X (Again, sorry for deleting this from your computer). Thorough assessment for the powerpoint. Will they be doing one slide or are they doing a slide for each type of persuasion techniques? || X Great page for students to use to reflect on their writing. You may want to include something tied in with your essential question. || X The powerpoint tips are helpful. Would you consider printing them out on paper where you can see multiple slides on one page? I also like the Word document to support the work. || X Looks like you're ready to begin the project. If you're doing a showcase during the school day, you may want to include broadcasting it on your school announcements. || X Useful planning sheet for computer usage. Are you planning on using binders to organize your information? || Brochure looks good, Consider putting your name on the actual brochure. || X I like the additions of "paint" used throughout the powerpoint. The example of figurative language page is blank. || X Very clear directions on this preassessment. I also like the "student involvement" part to be student centered. || X Thorough list of citations! Consider adding some citations for images and sounds. || X This is a fun way for students to see that you are an "artist" and it's also a fun little paragraph to read. You may want to have a specific topic for students to choose from when they write their paragraphs || X Seems easy to use. Check on spelling of similes and onomatopoeia. || X The two forms will help students to stay on track. I'm not sure if students will know if their writing is "confusing" on #3. Do you have a way for students to know the difference? || X Directions are easy to follow. Once the students have read the story and found the similes/idioms, are they supposed to create their own similes/metaphors based on the book or is there a theme or topic to this writing? || X Fun activities for pair share!

Keep adding to the list of the many websites the students use. || X A fun way for students to see their students and want to play! Consider putting the music to the powerpoint. || X Looks like an easy to use form. Did you want to add a place for notes? || X These directions are also great for parent volunteers or other staff members or even older students to help. Is it possible for students to "color" the tree online and save it? || X What a fun graphic directions for students! You could even have it posted for a center instead of doing it as a whole class! || X So many things to choose from! It's great! I don't know how many were from the Intel page, but I noticed the citation at the bottom. You may want to list the # if they were found on the website (if you know them). || X Another fun way for students to know expectations, but making it student friendly. I didn't notice a "leaving" procedure for when computer lab is over. Will they be required to unplug the headset and put it away? || I like the brochure. Consider putting other methods of grading you will be using. || X The colorful background is very student and family friendly. Check the font and sizes on your finished product. || X Quick and easy assessment. There is an extra blank page at the bottom of the document. || X Great start.

Your content question__ssss__ will help guide their learning! Check your link to see if it will work. || X Very thorough preassessment. Be sure to have a place for students to write their names and date. || X That's a great start. Be sure to continue to add to the list. || X Wow! So much fun with Smartboard! I believe the expectations are for students to make only 1 page? Is this correct? || X Very thorough assessment with content and expectations of use of Smartboard tools. Be sure to have a place for student name and date. || X The rating area is more user friendly. I'm going to use that for my form. :) On my document, there were a few places where there were extra spaces between words. You may want to do a spell check. || X Wonderful and clear directions! May I borrow them? Do you think having a "menu" of Smartboard game templates would help students make choices? || X I love that you incorporated your PLC group into the checkoff list! I don't know if you do Career Ladder, but could this unit also be used for your evaluations? || X Great directions on redirecting students on the computer. I also like incorporating the "work time" into the directions. What notebook will they have? || Good start. Consider adding some math graphics. ||  || X It's a great start.

Be sure to finish the other websites, using the citation machine. || X The notes are detailed and students should understand your expectations. Have you considered leaving a space for visual learners to "doodle" their thoughts? || X Thorough assessment. This is a great way for students to learn historical facts. Under "Writing Conventions," the description for 4 and 3 are similar and may be hard to distinguish. || X Wow! Great idea and form for students to use. Would you consider listing the positions available to choose from? They may not know anything other than editor. || X This is a great form for students working in groups. Include a place on the form for students to include the group members' names on it. || X The ask me poster is a good reference for students to stay independent while you may be troubleshooting around the room. You may want to try and get it all on one page.

The computer problem page is a great way to keep track of what needs attention and hopefully, you're IT can help out with those problems. || X The checkoff list looks great, especially being able to print on the color printer, which will make some great looking newspapers.
