Olympic Response Day 1

JOURNAL ACTIVITY

Imagine you are speaking to one of the Canadian Olympians and they are feeling a bit nervous. What would 
you tell them to help them perform at their best?

Go Canada!

Twitterific

Hi Parents, I would like to try a collaborative writing activity using Twitter. Students will require a Twitter account for this purpose. In class students will only be allowed to use the account for the purpose of this assignment. 

Some parents may have some concerns about their child having Twitter and this is completely understandable. If this is the case, creating an account with your child where you both have access to the account and password enabling you to view all activity may alleviate this concern. 

I believe this will be an innovative and enriching learning experience so please consider signing up for this account. 

Thank you, Mr. M
