 * If you cannot use the internet, please bring a hand-written post when you return to school.

Respond thoroughly (and in complete sentences) to two of the following: PREDICTION -** // I predict that… I bet that… I think that… //
 * VISUALIZATION -** //Describe what you can see happening or upload a picture with a caption.//
 * QUESTION -** //Why did…? What would happen if…? I don’t understand…//
 * SUMMARIZATION -** //Write about the key ideas presented in the text.//

TIPS FOR SUCCESS:

1. Students should type their posting and response in a word processing document (i.e. Microsoft Word), so they can use the word count feature to make sure the length of their writing is sufficient. 2. Students should save these documents each week so they can be printed out or e-mailed in the event of internet failure or technical issues on Wikispaces. 3. Students should keep the web address, their username, and their password near the computer, so they always have the information when they need it.


 * Remember to be respectful and considerate. Failure to behave in an acceptable and appropriate manner will result in loss of points and consequences based on the PBIS sytem.***//
