Clock-In PIN

11011101

While I am out, there will be ONE assignment that counts as the clock-in and clock-out. It is worth 10 points. When I return, the old system of one clock-in and one clock-out will be used.

Standard

  1. 06.01 Describe the role of games in modern society (e.g., education, task training, social networking, therapy, recreation).
  2. 06.02 Identify various types of games (e.g., chance, skill, knowledge, role-playing, and storytelling).

Topic

Gaming

Objective

Students will develop a basic understanding of various roles games play in society.

Essential Questions

  1. How do games fill different roles in society?
  2. What will you do today to be better than you were yesterday?

Mise En Place [~2-3 Minutes]

Every day you should:

  1. Login to DCPS OneView and Focus.
  2. Open Outlook and OneNote.
  3. Clock-in on Focus.
  4. Check your e-mail for important information.
  5. Follow any special instructions on the board.

Instruction [~5-10 Minutes]

Complete the Meme Monday #01 assignment and survey.

Students received an e-mail with a weekly progress report in it. You need to open Outlook through OneView, read, and REPLY to that e-mail. Your reply should say something similar to, "I have received the progress report for the week of today's date." If you have any questions or comments about a grade in that progress report, include them in that e-mail. This will happen every Monday morning.
