Daily Challenge – Jell-O Time! or pudding or … something wiggly and jiggly! Blindfold the parent this time and have them feed the student a bowl of Jell-O. Easy peasy, right? Send your videos to Mr. Neal – sneal@stjudesacademy.com

Inquiry into My Digital Footprint
Learning Goal: Students learn to protect their personal safety online by recognising the behaviours that online predators may use.
Students are introduced to the “Red Flag” – the way we feel when something makes us uncomfortable.
Students watch the ‘Friend or Fake’ video.
We have a class discussion about the things the on-line friend said that raise a ‘Red Flag’.
Students are presented with scenarios. They decide if the scenarios raise a red flag or not.
Students record what an on-line friend may say, and what an on-line predator may say.
Students watch Teens Talk Back – Meeting Offline. They discuss the responses of the teens in the video. Students write an email to a friend with tips on how to spot an on-line fake.

Spelling Bee Practice
Learning Goal: Students will practice for the spelling bee and be familiar with the online rules for this year’s bee.
Students will practice for the spelling bee with classmates in a Zoom meeting by adhering to all pre-existing and online rules. A zoom link will be provided.
Success Criteria: I …
· position my body so that my hands are visible
· keep looking at the camera
· say the word, spell the word, say the word
· ask for the word to be repeated if it is not clear to me
· ask for the word to be used in a sentence or I ask for a definition of the word if it is not clear to me
· participate fairly without help from anyone or anything at home
· have fun practicing even if I do not want to participate competitively
Students not participating in the Spelling Bee will work on caricatures of themselves.

Art
Learning Goal: Students will practice using techniques in caricature self-portraits.
Students will share their work with the class by showing their art on Zoom. We will focus on techniques, having fun, and drawing comic portraits. Some tips are: Identify prominent features in the subject’s face e.g. forehead, eyebrows, nose, teeth, chin, strong jaw. Exaggerate these features in your drawing. Necks are usually skinny in caricatures (like a bobblehead). Students who have completed the practice portraits should begin working on their caricature self-portrait. These are due on Thursday and will be used to create a class picture for the cover of our class’ anthology.
Success Criteria: My caricature…
· is a good likeness of me
· is drawn in black marker with realistic shading in black and grey for the darker areas of my face
· exaggerates my prominent features
· is representative of caricature art by being comic
|
Work that is not completed during class time will need to be completed as homework. Students should put more focus into reading at this time. It is an expectation that students are reading between 30 and 60 minutes per day.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out so I can clarify and assist.
