Today we will: 
1. Borrow books and read like true warriors. 
2. Explore the design process with Simple Planes! 

A Game of Rapid-Fire Design

Today you will play the Terratech campaign. It is a physics-based robot building game that requires constant use of the design process for different challenges and purposes. It is also a perfect way to get accustomed to the tools and processes of building in the game. Next week, we will have specific design challenges to choose from. 

Monuments and Wonders! 

Over the next few weeks, you'll have an opportunity to design you own monument. What is a monument? a statue, building, or other structure erected to commemorate a famous or notable person or event. You can be serious, but you don't have to. My example is a monument to one of Minecraft's strangest characters. Just think of your build as a tribute to someone, something that happened, or an idea.

Your build should include a sign with your name and class. You can include a portfolio in a book chest to explain your build. Look below for some real-world ideas for monuments. 

Today we will: 
1. Read like champions. 
2. Choose an acitivity: Options include bookmark contest, Minecraft House Contest, or Canva/Xtool engraving. 

For the engraving project: 

1. Search for "Business Card" to get the correct design size for our cards. 
2. Choose a font and put your name in the middle. Choose black & white, Silhouette, or outline images that describe you as a person. Send to "abjerk". 

Bookmark Challenge

For the remainder of the year, I will only use bookmarks made by students. The bookmarks put into circulation must be either: 

A) Promote Ojibwe language or culture. Use these websites for help! 

Or

B) Promote specific a specific book(s) in our library collection. Try to make others pick up a book that you enjoyed! Spread reading! 

Turning It In! 

​

Make sure to click send to teacher. Then select "abjerk" - that's Mr. B. You must complete BOTH bookmarks before any discussion of choice time.
