Vindico Flipbooks!

Hey class,

The Flip-books we started today should look great! I hope you find this tool useful for making connections and tracking them! I will be sure to post some pictures later so check back for those!

Speaking of our making connections unit! Did anyone go on the website google.ca today? I made an awesome text to media connection!

The site looked like this:


Head to the back channel page and tell me what connection you think I made to this image. And what connections you might have made as well! 

Cheers,

Day One!

Hello Class,

I have just read some of your journals, fantastic job! I really like some of your ideas regarding superpowers and joining a league of villains. Can you see the connection between this assignment and the novel we are beginning to read? Good I thought you would!

We finished chapters one and two today and talked about some great connections between this book where the characters get kidnapped and Tuck Everlasting where Winnie gets kidnapped. These connections brought us to a deeper level of understanding what we just read and helped us make some predictions.

Great work today class! Any questions so far?

Let me know,

Mr. Y
