What We Learned Today...October 3rd

All Smiles for Picture Day!

After AR this morning we wasted no time transitioning to ELA. Before breaking into groups to work on the Broadcast scripts, we took a few minutes to re-examine the Long, Medium and Close-Up shots when filming.  These are very important to understand because on top of writing their scripts students also have to create storyboards for their News Casts.  These storyboards will help the students operating the video switch boards to know which camera should be recording and when. 
In grade 8 Math we briefly reviewed the Pythagorean Relationship (a2 + b2 = c2) and Right Triangles before begining a new assignment.  (Please see assignment below)

After lunch Ms. Norris taught the students all about Free Hand Drawing as well as Contour Drawing.  For the first half of French we finished up our Introduction Conversations and during the last half switched gears to ELA and continued to work on our scripts for the Broadcast Studio. 
During the Phys. Ed Ms. Norris took the students outside because the Gym was being used for picture day.
