Goal: We are going to listen to Number the Stars and converse using todaysmeet.com. This is something of a combination of a chatroom, twitter, and a normal day in Social Studies. This will be exciting and fun but here are some guide lines which must be respected.
1. Once you post you can’t retract your statement. Think hard before putting something in writing. (This is true in life as well.)
2. Sign in using your first name and last initial, do not post your last name, any contact information or anything silly like that.
3. Do not post anything outside of class time unless you are otherwise directed to do so.
4. Stay in the chat room and stay on topic.
5. Do what you know is right.
