I am away at the ACTEM Conference presenting on the work I have done on Blogging, ShowMe videos, ScreenFlow, and "Flipping" of the classroom. I trust you will be on your best behavior for Mr. Greg and Mr. Poloquin.
Today you will continue your work on the the end of unit Final Ecology Assessment (Letter).
Remember you can click on the above link and choose one of the three tasks that are listed.
Many of you have already started this but I know you are at different places in completion.
Use the provided letter formats that I handed out either editorial or friendly letter as a guide. There are more at the front of the room clipped to the whiteboard if you need them.
You can use the following links for invasive insects and plants to provide detailed support and information in your body paragraphs. I was also able to get the pdf of the talk Ember gave which is also linked below.

When you think you are done please do the following:
1. Check your work against the letter format sheet.
2. Check your content against the product descriptor.
3. Check your work for punctuation, spelling and capitalization.
4. Ask Mr. Greg or Mr. Poloquin the give your letter an edit and supply their ideas to make it better.
When all of the following have been accomplished then you may print it to the computer lab.
Once all of this is done you may read the following pages 8-11 in the Macro to Micro Book to preview our next Unit on Classification of Species.
Have a nice weekend!
