Humanities: LNG, Blogging & Play



L-N-G.

We'll start his morning going with our second L-N-G current events reading from newsela.com .

WHOLE NEW MIND. PLAY.
From there, we'll talk about play sense for a few minutes. 

And DOODLE CIRCLES!  

Also, you need to complete the 2nd -- and final -- Notice/Wish/Wonder over Whole New Mind -- this one about design/play/meaning.  This is due on Thursday.

You'll be working with a group of likeminded folks to determine a way to turn work into play in a class where you may struggle a bit.

That work is the subject of your creative blog post for this week.

Week of 10/3
Creative Blog Post:  Invent a game to help you learn in a class where you usually struggle.  It may be the same game you create with your class partners or it may be another.  Explain how the game works and why you think it will help you in that class.

Update: Here's some of what people came up with in a hurry.  There will be more time.




BLOGGING.
We will be showing you how to post links to our new blog tracking document, so we can best assess your blogs quickly and efficiently.

And finally, we'll be getting everyone signed up on Remind today who isn't. Instructions are in the Humanities 2014 OUT folder on Google Drive.
