4. Quick Review Kahoot If you have a cell phone, log on to www.Kahoot.it
If you DO NOT have a cell phone on you, raise your hand and you will receive a paper copy.
Those of you with the paper copy will sit in the back of the room (on the floor) to complete the “quiz.”
Those of you with cell phones will participate in the Kahoot.

5. In Defense of Teenage Girls
Do you think that teenagers are respected by society?
One young lady shares her thoughts on the matter.
As you watch, jot down any poignant (powerful) ideas she shares (you must have at least 1).
Be prepared to discuss.

6. Brainstorming Time! Make a list of what you would like to pursue.
Remember, you can choose to do either:
Kid Talk
Genius Hour
Self-Directed Novel Study

7. Genius Hour Proposal Topic: The Loch Ness Monster
Guiding Question: Does the Loch Ness Monster really exist?
Description: We at Google wish to study the Loch Ness in Scotland in order to see if indeed the Monster, called “Nessie”, truly exists. We plan to use our existing “Street View” technology used in Google Maps to determine this. By mounting a “Street View” camera atop a boat, we hope to scan all directions of the lake above and below water to find evidence of “Nessie’s” existence.

8. Homework Read for 30 minutes.
Take your brainstorming and begin creating your proposal (GH) or script (KT) if you haven’t already.
Novel Study Students-choose your book and bring it to class.
