Global Cafe and Paragraph Football Continued

Today we continued to learn Paragraph Football and tested some of our classmates paragraphs.

AIM: I will learn the MEAL format for paragraphs and rewrite mine for 100% accuracy.

Standard: 7.W.E.3 Write content based reports that frame a key question and group details and explanations in a logical order.

Do Now:
Today we viewed a short 5 minute video about the Global Cafe program that will start this Friday. The Meridian International Center brings in Cultural Consultants from all over the world and this Friday we will host a presentation from Hungary. Students will be able to have lunch with our Cultural Consultant from Hungary if they fill out an application correctly and are one of the first 20 students to turn them in tomorrow. We will have the Global Cafe about twice a month. Watch the following video to see what the Global Cafe entails and fill out the application below.


Lesson Steps: We reviewed our quizzes from last Thursday and then picked paragraphs to use for today's game of Paragraph Football. We then played another game and focused on calling fouls on paragraphs that lacked indentation and illegal use of pronouns.

Seventh period received a copy of their progress report and we reviewed our grades. Periods two and three will get their progress reports tomorrow.

Homework:
Make up missed work if necessary.

Handout: Here is the Global Cafe application. Space is limited so you must fill it out correctly and turn it in early on Wednesday.
