Learning Log november 23

What we did in class today:

In class today people that didn't go up in there groups went up to peer review the grades that other classmates put on the graphic organizer. What I mean by grades what, last class we got in groups and got a few already done graphic organizers. We disscused them in our groups and decided what letter grade they should get A+, A , B+ , B , C+ depending on the information, neatness ,and  the kind of pictures/Venn diagrams etc. After when we were all done we put them up on the board from A+ - C+. When everybody was done we got called up in our groups and put red stickers beside the letter grade if we dissagreed and green stickers beside them if we didn't. Some groups didnt get to go up because we ran out of time .

Today the groups that didn't finish went up and disscussed what they thought!after everybody finished we went over them as a class to review if the marks were appropriate, we also discussed a lot about what makes a good graphic organizer. We discussed what was important to have like.... Venn diagrams,t charts,fish bones etc.  and also different visual things like... color coordinating , pictures/drawings and also one of the most important things is the information like... no sentences,lots of details, and makes sense. After looking over and discussing what makes a good graphic organizer we started to take notes about graphic organizers and unnecessary things in them and very important things that we should know. While doing graphic organizers we have to stay on topic and make it interesting and eye catching and VERY neat!! 

Learning intentions:

I think it is very important to know how to use graphic organizers efficiently and useful.Graphic organizers can help you when you need to study for a test or for project ideas maybe even just ideas for maybe a birthday party ideas when and you don't know what to do. Ms.Lees has gone over graphic organizers a lot because they are very important the learning intentions are so when we get older or even just for other classes we know how to use them properly because they can really help. The point of learning so much about them was because graphic organizers can help get your ideas flowing/ brainstorming !
