11/14

HW due Wednesday:

1. Danger of a Single Story
a. Finish the 4 box graphic organizer that we worked on in class today. Try to have a minimum of 3 examples in each box Danger of a Single Story - Graphic Organizer - Google Doc
b. Of all the examples in each box in your graphic organizer, pick 3 that are most real to you. Write a quick paragraph explaining each of those 3 single story examples you have (meaning a total of 3 short paragraphs).

Don't spend more than 27 minutes on this assignment. If you get past 27 minutes and aren't done, advocate (mjansa@pps.net), let me know where you got, and stop. We are going to use these paragraphs to support our writing in class tomorrow.

Consider using Learning Ally to support your reading at home. You know your login info (see the post below), just make sure you have the app on whatever device you use (the app is called "Learning Ally Link")

Learning Ally User Instructions:

User

How you or your students access the audiobooks on Learning Ally depends on what device you are using. Smartphones and tablets will need to have the Learning Ally App added to them prior to using. Chromebooks will need the Learning Ally Link App added to the doc (this can be found in the google chromebook store) Make sure it’s the one that says Learning Ally Link, not just Learning Ally.

Once you have downloaded the app on your device, login with the student username and password. A book will be available to download once it is added but can’t be listened to until it is downloaded. Think of it as sitting on a cloud until it is added to your device. This helps save space on your device. The Chromebook App will display titles that have been added to your account but not downloaded to the device by showing the cover with a blue arrow superimposed over it. Click the arrow to download it to the device and listen. Tablets will have two tabs - Listen and Download. Download has all the books on the account, Listen has the books that are downloaded to the device.

*If you are using a Chromebook, remember that Learning Ally Link will show up (and keep the place you are at) on whatever account you have logged your computer into. If you are logged into your teacher GAFE account (apps4pps) and then log a student into Learning Ally, you’ll need to always log into your account to access it. If it’s on a student account you’ll need to have them login to access their books.
