Homework:
None

Today:
The big excitement of today was entering the Choosing the Right Word into the remote things we are using.  The students entered their answers like a 20 question test; however, they did it the night before.  When they were done, the computer sent the score to their remote, so they knew how they did right away!  Then we looked at the results.  There were graphs for each question which showed how many got the question wrong.  If a question had only a few students who got it wrong (or all got it right), we skipped it and moved on to discuss only the ones they struggled with.  That was better than just doing all of them.  I will figure out ways to utilize the results.

I also plan to use this for Thursday's quiz.  This way, when I see that all the results are in, we can see how they did.  This way they can get immediate feedback.  I am so excited!

Have a nice weekend.
