[KC]: "This is Water" Say, Mean, Matter Activity

If you were absent on Friday for the homecoming festivities, here's the activity you missed. Be sure to view the slides below and follow all instructions given.

Copy this slide into your notebook! This is a great strategy to have in your toolbox.


We did this bit together as a class. Make sure this slide is in your notebook as well.



The rest of the activity is on you! Make sure paragraphs 10 and 11 plus one more is completed on your "This is Water" text. 


I'm expecting to see this completed :]

[KC]: So you're ready to upload your paperslide video?

--> Go to YouTube, and click on the round icon in the top right corner that identifies you.  
--> Log yourself off.  Sign off.

(If you were not logged in to begin with, please start here.)

Password: Monsoons
(Be sure that the picture in the upper round icon is a stack of books/notebooks and the username says ERWC at Mayfair High School. If either of those are wrong, you're on the wrong profile.)

*** NOTE: It is very important to follow all the steps EXACTLY as stated. Everything should be uniformed when I look at it.

  • Upload your video.
  • Set the privacy setting to Unlisted,” which means anyone with a link can view the video, but it is not searchable.
  • Be sure to include the title of your video as follows: (2018 Teacher Period) - WWP - Chapter Title
    • Video Title Example:
      • (2018 Colln 3) - WWP - Sharing
      • (2018 Colln 3) - Writing With Power - Quick Revising
  • In the description box, write the names of everyone on your team and your teacher and class period. 
    • For security reasons, please use only the first name and the first initial of the last name.
    • For example, in the description box, I would write, “Katie C., Alex F., Brooke B., Debbie V. (Colln - period 3)”
  • Be sure to add tags:  Peter Elbow, Writing, English Language Arts, Paper Slide Video, ERWC ℅ 2018
