TODAY YOU HAVE A SUB BECAUSE I AM IN A WORKSHOP IN MRS. LASSITER'S OLD ROOM.

PLEASE BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR!

Today you will:

1. Complete your E-Journal. The prompt for today is on the board. It should say "Do you think that advances in technology such as email and smartphones have led to Americans being unable to communicate face to face?"

2. The sub will hand out green vocabulary papers. There is only enough copies for a class set so do not ask to keep yours, take it home for the weekend, etc. You need to TYPE these vocabulary words in Word. You should label them as "Vocabulary ETS Unit B" and you should save them as the same thing. Email to me when you finish. Email address: scarlett.tyndall@jonesnc.net

3. Use the following word document and PowerPoints to complete the worksheet that the sub is handing out. You should turn it in at the end of class.





4. If you finish 1, 2 and 3, then click here for a writing prompt. Read the prompt and write about what it is telling you. Remember pre-historic time means caveman time.



Title - Speed Back in Time Save As: Speed Back in Time

1st Paragraph - What are you taking from the present day to the prehistoric day 2nd Paragraph - Compare what you brought with you to what the prehistoric people are using 3rd Paragraph - If you lost your stash of present day stuff. . . (see prompt)

You can write this in story form if you wish.

5. FOR 5TH PERIOD ONLY

IF YOU HAVE FINISHED EVERYTHING, THEN I WANT YOU TO DO THE OPPOSITE OF SPEED BACK IN TIME. EVERYTIME THE PROMPT SAYING PREHISTORIC - SUBSTITUTE THAT WITH FUTURE TIME (YEAR 2111 - ONE HUNDRED YEARS INTO THE FUTURE) WHAT WILL YOU TAKE, WHAT WILL YOU FIND?.

6. MANY OF YOU OWE ME WORK. NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO WORK ON THAT AND TURN IT IN.
