Little or Unknown Facts

The internet and different encyclopedias (do you even remember what those are?) are full of facts, some of them really random. For example “Did you know that there are more lifeforms living on your skin than there are people in the world?”

With this week's blog post you need to gather some of those cool/interesting facts and create a blog post around it. Don't forget to give credit to where you found the information and include pictures and videos to make your post more effective.

As always, I look forward to reading (and learning) about what you have found.

History Quiz - Conflict and Change

Welcome to your next online assignment Grade 7's!

Feel free to use any resource you would like to find the answer.  Take your time and read the questions carefully.  I want to try and eliminate all silly mistakes. :-)

I've tried to make things a little easier by embedded the quiz right into the blog.  However, if you would like to see a full-screen version, just click this link.

Good luck!

Advice/Favourite Meal

Your first task this week is to take last week's written work (the advice you would give a friend who doesn't appreciate the way he or she looks) and turn it into a good copy blog post. Watch your spelling/grammar and I would highly recommend getting someone to proofread it before you post it online.

Your second assignment this week is to create a blog post describing your perfect meal. This must include an entree, main course and dessert. Once you have described this, you need to find the recipes on how to make each selection. You could also include a video of how it is made and don't forget to include some tasty looking pictures (your own would be even better!).

As always, I look forward to reading your entries.

You've Won!

Hello my trusty Grade 6/7s!

I thought I would do something a little different this week:

Pretend you are winning an award for doing outstanding work at school (congratulations by the way!).  Write an acceptance speech thanking everyone who helped you be a good student.  Don't forget to add in some advice for future students on what it takes to be successful.  Your acceptance speech should be approximately one paragraph long.

To get an idea of what an acceptance speech could look like - view the video below.




Remember the rules for posting information to the web:

- NEVER post any personal information and use only first names please. 
-  Put the question in your answer and always write using full sentences.
- Proofread your work (watch your spelling and grammar) before you post it.
- Keep it appropriate for school.
- Have fun and be creative!

I'm looking forward to reading your answers!

Surface Area

Here is a quick review of how to find the surface area of a box (Remember: You have a quiz tomorrow).  Please let me know if you have any questions.
