Scribe Post - Friday 1/18

Sorry this post is so late, everyone, but hopefully you've been out enjoying the long weekend as much as I have.

If you're confused about this week's schedule, check this post on the class blog. East house doesn't have Ortega's class until Wednesday, 2nd block, so you still have one day to finish your LC reading if you haven't already!

In order of the agenda from Friday:

• SSR

(20 minutes)

• Asking Good Questions

(Right before this we made new assignment #61, LC Discussion Prep 4. For this prep we'll need two quotes, two questions, and at least 1 free choice.)

For this activity, we made new assignment #62, Asking Good Questions. After making a two-column chart in our comp books, Mrs. Ortega called on people to share one of the best questions they'd written down under LC discussion prep 3. (If you need to see the actual questions we wrote down, let me know and I'll let you borrow my comp book.) After talking about these questions and re-wording some of them, we came up with qualities we think a good questions should have with our LC groups. Here are some qualities that were shared with the class:

- thought provoking (not yes/no)
- allows you to take a stance
- answer is not obvious/multiple answers could be considered correct
- has a universal theme

Keep these qualities and the qualities your groups came up with in mind when coming up with questions for future LC discussions!

• Membership Grid

 For Fridays membership grid, Mrs. Ortega gave each of us a yacht. How generous! Anyways, our Membership grid discussions were about naming our yachts. Hopefully you came up with good ones.

• LC Discussion

 Discussion time! We had a pretty nice amount of time to discuss on Friday.

• Class Share Out

Unfortunately, we didn't get to share what we discussed on Friday. Hopefully we will this coming Wednesday.

Okay guys, remember to have your LC discussion preps ready for this Wednesday! Happy MLK Jr. Day.
