Once students have shown me their signed permission slips to join the 5th Grade Reading Google Classroom, I will add each student using their student email addresses. Please note that Google requires that I use my teacher email address provided by Fuhsing in order to open a Google classroom. This helps to assure security for the students.
My Fuhsing Gmail email address is: mj2258a@gm.fhjh.tp.edu.tw
The first assignment that ALL students can choose to submit through the Google Classroom will be the List 19 Sentences using the 10 spelling words from Lesson 22. The assignment will be the same, five sentences using 2 spelling words each. However, instead of writing the sentences in your Spelling Notebook, you can do the assignment in Google Docs.
If students who are NOT in the Google Classroom would still like to do this assignment using Google Docs, you still can. Just do the assignment in Docs and share it with me so that I can comment on it.

Lesson 22 Theme Project (5 Ho only)
5 Ho will be doing a small collaborative project instead of a graphic organizer for Lesson 22. The project can be done alone or in groups of 2 or 3 students. The project can be done using Google Docs or Google Slides.
The assignment is to compare and contrast the themes of 3 stories from Lesson 22: "The Birchbark House" (the main reading in Journeys from Lesson 22), "City in the Cliffs" (the Green Circle Leveled Reader), and "The Big Hunt" (the Teal Diamond Leveled Reader). Be sure to use details from each story in your presentations of theme.
To do this project using Google Slides, which is a lot like Microsoft PowerPoint, go to your Google Drive, click the blue "New" button, and choose "Google Slides".
Be sure to share your Google Slides with your teammates. To do this, click the blue "Share" button and put your teammates' email addresses in the box. Then, click the gray pen box and select "Can edit". This way, all group members can work on the project at the same time. You can even work on it at home from a computer. The Google Slides will be saved in the Google Cloud, not on your iPad or computer.
