What we learn is more important than what we win!

Watch this project presentation from last year. Answer these questions.

1. Go to your Google Drive, and make a folder called 'FLL'. You will find a document called
'Project Brainstorming' in 'Shared with me', which is open to your whole team. Drag it into your new FLL folder. As a
team, start considering some buildings/public spaces, and fill in your thoughts on the document.

2. After 10 - 15 minutes, stop work on that and divide the research links in the FLL blog between team members to do some research.


3. After that, go back to the Project Brainstorming document and see if you have anything to add to it.

Learning Goal: Understand what is expected in the Classroom

Daily Objective: Get to know one another

opening Opening Activity:

 

Answer these questions.

Please join the eCampus class page by clicking here.

Now you can get to this page from your eCampus page if you want, though I think
it's easier to get here from the Portal..

 

classworkClasswork:

Go to The Portal, and click on the Google Drive tile.

Log in with your school log-in; when it opens, click on "Shared with Me".

Click on the link to 'Welcome and Link", and follow instructions to enroll in my eCampus page.

My class will then be a tile on your Dashboard.

We will then do an inside-outside circle to get to know each other. Each person needs to get an index card, and write two questions on it.

Let's see if we can create teams. Absorb the new students into your teams.
If we have a smaller all-girl team, the other teams will be a bit bigger.

Come to the front - we will look at the Project introduction on the FLL blog, and at theKickoff video.
The Robot Game missions might give you ideas for projects.

In teams, start looking at the links on the FLL blog.

flag Closing activity:

Your Closing Activity will vary each day. Please do not do it before the appropriate time. It is designed to have everyone in their seats for the last few minutes of the period.

Watch this video.
