20 Minute Work Time for Period 5

In Mrs. Smith's period 5 class we greeted our teacher enthusiastically after a couple of tries and then we got down to business. She discussed a few dates with us: April 28 is the chapter six Symphony fishbowl, April 29 we are skipping class to receive our sophomore schedules, on May 2 our TED talk outline is due, and on May 9 our class is skipping our second and third periods to hear Daniel Pink talk (make sure to talk to your teachers beforehand that you won't be attending class).

TED talk outline:

• Thesis statement: answers the question "What matters?" and Why?


• Bullet points breaking down speech


• form: ignite and pecha kucha


• REMEMBER:

1. must answer the question "What matters?"


2. needs to be an idea worth spreading


3. 5 minutes long (BE SURE THAT IT IS ONLY 5 MINUTES LONG, BECAUSE IF IT GOES OVER, SHE WILL CUT YOU OFF)


4. 20 slides

For homework: you should finish blog 5 (if not already done), and work on Blog 7, make sure to have Symphony read by tomorrow and have insightful questions about the chapter.

Have Fun Buckaroos!
