Objectives: Over the next two days, students will have entered their complete book review on the class spreadsheet. Students will also have pasted all of their book review sections into one document on their wiki which will function as the complete book review which others can read straight through. Section 1 will have made progress on their vocabulary unit 2. Today: You should use Word to type up each section of the book review. Use the Word Count tool to make sure you don't have too many words. (Highlight the section you want and use Tool/Word Count) Paste the completed section into this spreadsheet. Do not worry about wrapping the text. Double click the spreadsheet box to see your complete text. Do not type in the spreadsheet.  Use Word to type. Paste each completed section into your Wiki page. Label the sections Make it look like one complete review. Hopefully we can print these out. When you are done, you can help other students by using the comment feature of the spreadsheet. Assessment: Much of the book review is a summative grade.   Students are demonstrating how well they have applied their KBAR close reading skills. The students are expected to be using the vocabulary we have been discussing in class. Students will be doing another book review second marking period.   I will be grading that one harder than I grade this one.
