Ring Ring!

__Monday__-

Okay students, now that you have seen my concept web about primary and secondary sources, you get to create your own!

-First go to the start button and click once.

-Then go to the search bar that says ‘Search Programs and Files’ click on that once and type in Kidspiration (it may also be named Kidspiration 3, but that is the same thing).

-Click on that once and you will see this picture pop up. -Then click on 'Picture View'. Once on that page, you then need to type in your Main Idea (which is either Primary or Secondary Sources-you need to do both, but you can pick which to create first).

-Now, you need to click on the original circle that was on the page and then click on the picture of four circles (also called 'add symbol' if you move your mouse over the picture).

**You much add at least five circles to get full credit on this assignment**

-The circles can be moved around by, clicking on the circle and dragging the picture where you want it to go.

-When you are finished adding in your information (definitions and examples of what a Primary and Secondary Source is), you then need to click 'File' on the top left corner of the page.

Then select 'Save As' and label each of your projects as YourLastName_Concept Map1 and YourLastName_Concept Map 2.

**It does not matter which assignment is labeled which, as long as you have two concept webs finished.**

<span style="color: #149f4d; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 18px;">-Hey everybody, today we are having a quiz. No need to worry, you all have been preparing for this throughout the week. First we are going to play a little review game. Everyone will need their own computer to participate.

<span style="color: #149f4d; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 18px;">-To study primary and secondary sources, we are going to take a little mini quiz.

To check your answer click 'Go' next to the drop box. This will bring you to another page that states whether or not you answered the question correctly (P.S. if you do not get the question about the coffee mug right, do not worry, it was put in as a joke).

<span style="color: #149f4d; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 18px;">-Once you get to the page that states whether you not you got the answer right, you must then click the back button <span style="color: #149f4d; font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; line-height: 18px;">(once) so that you can continue with the rest of the questions (the back button is typically on the top of the page next to the tool bar-please come and see me if you have any questions).

Take out your KWL chart, Kidspiration Charts (both the ones I made and you made), and your scavenger hunts. Look through all of your questions/answers to make sure you understand all of the material. After everyone has completed the practice quizzes we will then have a class discussion, so make sure you know all the last minute questions you want to ask before actually taking the real quiz.
