Tonight you are to work on obtaining information related to your assigned proposal. You were give a chart like handout in class today to help you assemble information. You will use this information to create you very own GLOGSTER poster. You will work individually to create a glogster on your assigned proposal. Follow the general guidelines on the glogster handout. You all have accounts and know how to sign in. You will go to the lab after attendance to formulate your glog. You glog is part of your quiz, so do a GREAT job on it.

Focus: Today you had 55 minute office hours. Be sure you are using the time wisely. Those of you who are struggling in classes need to be sure to go for help. We went to the lab today to work on setting up your very own blog page. Some finished most did not. You will continue that tomorrow, and begin looking for a critical issue to blog about. You should be sure to find at least three sources on an issue before you decide to blog. Your first blog post in proper format will be due on Thursday. You will have time during focus to work on the post.
World: Today we took Islam one step further. I showed a short information ppt (posted on website). Use the information to navigate the Cornell notes due tomorrow and for assignments in the future. In class tomorrow you will dive deeper into the expansion of Islam. You will do an activity with a partner and have to utilize the text (copies in classroom). Be prepared to hand in your Cornell Notes and tomorrow's classwork to Mrs. Iden.
