Directions for Sub Day, 10/08/19

1. Get out your numbered Chromebooks.  If anything is wrong with your computer, put that number on the "Wall of Shame" with a VERY brief explanation (e.g., unplugged) using pink Expo marker.
2. Head to noredink.com and sign in.  If you don't remember your info, Remind text me immediately.  I'm going to be unavailable after 1:15pm.
   1. IF you never signed up for the class, use the code "tidy table 89" and sign up with your first/last names. 
   2. Don't spend too much time adjusting your interests, but do put enough in there to make life interesting for the next 20-40 minutes.
3. Find the assignment in your Dashboard (I think): "Lesson: Learn & Practice Active/Passive Voice".
4. Complete the Lesson, then the Practice.  Earn the grade you want--don't just give up if you get it wrong!
5. AFTER you complete Task 4, go on and take "Quiz: Active/Passive Voice".  Don't cheat/copy off a neighbor.
6. When you're done, look around and see who else is done and find a partner that is (unless there are no possible options by the time everyone's done with NoRedInk):
   1. Not in your grade
   2. Not in your major
7. Sit together and go to www.powtoons.com.  One of you with an email you can access right now must sign up for a FREE account (don't pay for anything!).  Make your username your name, nothing cutesy.
8. The other person should open up a new Google Doc and title it E910_ActivePassivePowtoons_Lastnames.  Replace with both your last names, in alphabetical order.  Be sure to type the title of the Doc correctly!
   1. Share with Lowther and the partner.
9. Work together to make a Powtoon that clearly demonstrates the difference between Active and Passive voice, using:
   1. A new Powtoon title: E910_ActivePassive_Lastnames
   2. Funny/interesting sentences in the style of NoRedInk and Lowther's vocab quizzes.  DO NOT steal sentences from NoRedInk.
   3. Eye-catching/pleasing graphics, but don't overdo it.  Choose a free template you like, if you prefer and it works for you.  You have a "PRO" trial account for four days, and this is due at the end of Thursday, so be careful with timing your work and choosing your templates/graphics/music so you don't get locked out.
   4. Pleasant music that isn't distracting.
10. Don't get so bogged down in the creation of the Powtoon that you don't get any actual content done!!
11. What's on the Google Doc?
    1. For each slide you make in Powtoons, type out on the Doc what info you're including.  You must include, in your own, regular language:
       1. Title slide with names (e.g., "Active & Passive Voice, Katherine Lowther")
       2. Definition of Active voice, with when it is best to use
       3. Example of Active voice:
       4. Anti-example of Active voice:
       5. Definition of Passive voice, with why one should attempt to avoid it, BUT ALSO when it's ok to use
       6. Example of Passive voice
       7. Anti-example of Passive voice
       8. FOUR "quiz" type questions in which you try to stump the class. (When making the Powtoons, be sure to delay the answer or be able to pause the video when you show it in class.)
       9. The source for EACH of your definitions/outside info, next to the item you used the outside info for.  DO NOT PLAGIARIZE--you must reword anything coming from a source into your own, regular language.
12. NoRedInk items are due by 3pm today.  Anything else not completed today will carry over to Thursday's class, but everything is due Thursday by 2pm and videos WILL be shared at that time.
