Feb 27 2015 - Flocabulary and Social Media
Today's week in rap concludes with a homework assignment reviewing current events that happened during February. Students were given homework with questions and a wordbank to draw the answers from. Students can discuss this at home. Also students may (with assistance) look the answers up. These sheets were handed out in class.
The Homework : Month in Rap February 2015 Questions
The Answer Bank: Month in Rap February 2015 Answer Bank
We are also studying Social Skills and Relationships
Last week we talked about compliments. Students learned how to give compliments and how to respond to them (and being lovely people they probably receive many of them).
Today's lesson is on social media since some of the students are using twitter, facebook and texting to chat with people. While this doesn't have much effect on students who don't have facebook, the general concepts of appropriate things to say and what to not to share and of everyday help.
Social Media: Which items bother you the most worksheet?
