Independent Wednesday

Learning Target: 

• I can gather information from various sources

HOWLs Target: 

• I participate in my classroom and community.

Agenda

• Warm-up: PRETTY PICTURE WEDNESDAY (2min)
• Choose at least one of Newton's Laws of Motion and explain how it relates to this picture.
•  
• Nico Walther, Kevin Kuske, Christian Poser, and Eric Franke of Germany train for the men's four-man bobsleigh event at the Olympic Sliding Center on February 21, 2018. # Arnd Wiegmann / Reuters
• Snow tubing field trip
• Independent study
• Listen to a podcast (or 2 or 3) today.  Think about what made it interesting (or not).  Was the speaker a good speaker?  If you could talk to them would you give them any suggestions?  At the end of this class take time to fill out this exit ticket.
• Some Ideas of Podcasts to listen to:
• Surprisingly Awesome- comes highly recommended.
• Math Mutation- 3-7 minute podcasts for people of all ages about "weird and/or interesting" math. (I haven't listened yet)
• Grammar Girl, Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing- (It's interesting I swear!) 
• How Stuff Works- A whole family of different podcasts.
• Nerdette- A safe space for nerding out (I haven't listened yet)
• Ted Talks- Good wide variety of topics.
• The Moth- Listener stories
• Radio Lab- Usually very interesting science stories
• This American Life- I love this one, but might be more interesting for adults.
• Serial- investigative journalism (Season 1 is about murder case I mentioned in class)
• Brains On- science podcast
• Lore-  A friend recommended this to me, he said it might be a little scary but that he would have loved it in 8th grade.  It's about "dark historical tales" that impact current myths.


• Link to an article with pros and cons of podcasts, and a list of 20 podcasts appropriate for kids.
• One of the cons of podcasts is that they often have a lot of commercials.  Your podcast will be commercial free  (or not?).  You will be writing a podcast for your next research project!

• Friend or Food?! Runner-up, Macro. "I've had many encounters with this conger eel and I've have taken a few photos, but never have I seen it in such a picturesque manner as this, as if drawing you in by coiling its body and at the same time darting its eyes on a lone prey—it is because of breathtaking sights like this that I fell in love with underwater photography and to do it justice, I really aimed to capture the moment in perfect detail."
