period 3
11/17/17

Today in class we started off by writing a thank you note to one of the adults that works in the building. I sent one to my math teacher because I am awful at math,
Intro about blogs: Mr. Rivers introduced the 2nd marking period blog requirement because the start of the new marking period means that each student is responsible for four blogs, two be reel movie blogs, and two class summary blogs.

Daily Log Blog (2 per MP, 20 points each)
Two times per marking period, you will post a 300-500 word summary of our class that day. Your post should include:
A specific enough summary of the day’s learning that a student who was absent would be caught up (50%)
An extension that extends what we learned in class to the world at large (50%)
A title
Mr. Rivers highlighted the requirement about the extension because throughout the marking period our blogs have not been meeting his requirements. (Hint hint, wink wink)
After we handed in our letters, we as groups started crafting a theme that we will focus on while reading level two.  Our theme is focusing on the real world vs. the virtual world
The increasing presence of the virtual world led to the decline of the real world due to humanity being able to hide from their problems instead of facing them head on and solving them.
Since the contest in the virtual world led to death of Wade’s friends and family into stacks. In this day in ago we find that most people are addicted to social media and rather having conversations face to face. The advances in technology is gearing the future generations towards a more VR reality. For example most of assignments are on the computer instead of classic worksheets.

  1. Lots of really good information from our class’ learning. Nice balance of what we did as a class and what your individual group did when you were focused on themes. Smart choice to copy/paste the information from the blog page. Make sure that it doesn’t impact formatting (your post was a little difficult to read on the webpage, but I also have it in email form which didn’t cut off any information). Keep pushing that extension! You’re giving us a sense of future generations and assignments, but that’s the tip of the iceberg! Use that extension to truly EXTEND your blog!
