<li><a href="http://moshej.edublogs.org/files/2009/11/ReadingPictures.ppt">ReadingPictures</a> - This powerpoint will take you through the meticulous process of learning to READ a picture. In reality it is much more natural than this ppt presents it.

<li>We practiced READING 2 pictures.</li>
<li>We reviewed the Steps to READ a picture.</li>
<li>We practiced READING 1 picture.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="http://moshej.edublogs.org/files/2009/11/DISSECT.ppt">DISSECT</a> - Word ATTACK!!!!!!!</li>
<li><a href="http://moshej.edublogs.org/files/2009/11/SQ3R.ppt">SQ3R</a> -   Students grasp a greater amount of content from their textbook readings when they use the highly structured SQ3R Process.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I began class as usual, with DEAR or SAFARI or whatever you want to call silent reading. THen we all logged our reading and journaled about what we read. THEN, we got out our notebooks and talked about the 8th grade&#8217;s performance on the recent Stated/Implied Main Idea common assessment. OUCH!</p>
<p>I explained that ther were two possible reasons for the poor performance: they were unwilling to perform well, or they were unable to perform well. then the fun began.</p>
<p>Using a powerpoint I created from web resources I found in minutes, we took a look at inferencing. PAGE 38 in the Reader&#8217;s Notebook.</p>
<p>I do not have the powerpoint with me now as I type this, but I will post it tomorrow; it&#8217;s in my classroom. Basically, we used a powerpoint today to go through some practice passages frothing with clues that lead to logical inferences.</p>
<p>Easily more than 90 percent of my students excelled in class today. This showed me that tey have the skill, just not the willingness. Willingness can come. But only through honest asessment, and at ths I mean self-assessment.</p>
<p>It was great.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, for starters, we&#8217;ve been getting to know what reading strategies are, how we use them, and how they are actually skills we put to use all the time&#8230;not just when we read. The core strategies are: Predicting, Questioning, Visualizing, Connecting, Evaluating, and Clarifying.</p>
<p>We have also begun our deep dive into the Elements of Fiction. We started today by getting this list down, and looking up the definitions: Short Story, Novel, Plot, Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Resolution, Setting, Conflict &#8211; Internal &amp; External, Characters &#8211; Dynamic/Protagonist, Antagonist/Static -, Theme.</p>
<p>Ah, yes, and I collected everyone&#8217;s Reader&#8217;s Notebooks today. I am very impressed with what I&#8217;m seeing. Keep up the great work!!!!</p>
<p>But the COOOOOOLEST thing going on right now is that students have begun creating their own websites. How awesome is that? You can check them out at your leisure whenever you like. We will be visiting the computer lab again this Thursday to work hard on customization, About Me pages, and an initial discussion question (or two). Stay in touch to find out how you can get in on the discussion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DEVELOPED FROM THE &#8220;<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Student Code of Academic Integrity&#8221; </span></strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX (2007).</span><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Student Code of Academic Integrity</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">&#8220;Mr. Moshe&#8217;s class&#8221; is an academic community whose fundamental mission is the pursuit of emotional, spiritual, and intellectual growth &#8211; physical growth will take care of itself. Achievement of this mission is dependent upon the development of autonomous thought and respect for the ideas of others. Academic dishonesty threatens the integrity of individual students as well as Mr. Moshe’s academic community (the classroom). By virtue of membership in Mr. Moshe’s academic community, students accept a responsibility to abide by this Student Code of Academic Integrity, which is a part of the Student Code of Conduct for his classes. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Academic integrity violations include all forms of academic dishonesty, including but not limited to:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">a.</span><span style="font-variant: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>Plagiarism</strong> – Intentional or unintentional representation of another’s words or ideas as one’s own in an academic exercise.</em> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Examples of plagiarism include but are not limited to:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.75in"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">●</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"> The exact copy of information from a source without proper citation and without use of quotation marks or block quotation formatting. If any words or ideas used in a class posting or assignment submission do not represent the student’s original words or ideas, the student must distinguish them with quotation marks or a freestanding, indented block quotation (for a quotation of 40 or more words), followed by the appropriate citation in accordance with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. When a student copies information from a source, he or she must acknowledge the source with quotation marks or block quotes irrespective of whether or not the source has been formally published.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.75in"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">●</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Paraphrasing statements, paragraphs, or other bodies of work without proper citation using someone else’s ideas, data, language, and/or arguments without acknowledgement.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.75in"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">●</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"> Presenting work as the student’s own that has been prepared in whole or part by someone other than that particular student. This includes the purchase and/or sharing of work.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.75in"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;">● </span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Failure to properly cite and reference statistics, data, or other sources of information that are used in one’s submission.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Students who submit assignments that were previously submitted in another course are subject to the same consequences they would face if they plagiarized these assignments. The use of one’s previous work in an assignment requires prior approval from the current faculty member and citation of the previous work.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">This includes the invention or alteration of data or results, or relying on another source’s results in any assignment without proper acknowledgement of that source. Fabrication includes citing sources that the student has not actually used or consulted.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in">This sort of plagiarism may be allowed in practice writing situations as explained by Mr.Moshe.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Students must rely upon their own abilities and refrain from obtaining assistance in any manner that faculty does not explicitly allow.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>July 19th, 2009</p>
<p>The following excerpt sums up in one of many ways the reason this book is so incredible. I&#8217;m reading <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/files/345/345-h/345-h.htm#chap07">the e-book from Project Gutenberg</a> and listening to the audio book so page numbers are of little import to me right now. I can tell you it is from Chapter 7:</p>
<blockquote><p>At times the mist cleared, and the sea for some distance could be seen in the glare of the lightning, which came thick and fast, followed by such peals of thunder that the whole sky overhead seemed trembling under the shock of the footsteps of the storm.</p></blockquote>
<p>AWESOME !!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>July 12th, 2009<br />
I am pushed as it happens to tell you what I am doing while I listen to <em>Dracula</em> by Bram Stoker as read by Alexander Spencer and Susan Adams.</p>
<p>researching images I can find of the Castle Dracula.</p>
<p>wondering about the Carpathians, and searching on this curiosity. And in so searching I found my way to a lesser novel written by Jules Verne which was published (1891) <em>The Castle in the Carpathians</em> It was published in France before Bram Stoker&#8217;s <em>Dracula</em> (1897) was published in Ireland. It was called in his own time, <a href="http://moshej.edublogs.org/etext/5082">Le Chateau des Carpathes</a> (French) &#8211; which, if you read French, you can read for free from Project Gutenberg.</p>
<p>Some of my favorite quotes so far:</p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;These companions - . . . &#8211; have been good friends to me&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;We are in Transylvania, and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways. And they shall be to you many strange things. . .&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;I myself am of an old family, and to live in a new house would kill me.&#8221;
<ul>
<li>This made me immediately question. . . Aren&#8217;t we all of old families? Just how much of our families old histories do we know? How much of my family do I know about? What do I know about where we come from? who we are? how we&#8217;ve ended up (or are starting off) where we are?</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Trains of Thought</p>
<ul>
<li>Castle Dracula</li>
<li>Carpathians</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Students!! Here is your opportunity to tell your story. Many people get to the end of a part of their lives and regret having not written anything down. Althoguh the chapter I&#8217;ll call your middle school years is ending, you don&#8217;t have to forget it all. This is your chant, your mantra, your refrain for having, &#8220;No Regrets!!!&#8221; This project is designed to allow anyone to get a look into your psyche, your way of thinking, your way of being and acting. The product you produce for this should illustrate how you&#8217;ve changed, grown throughout your middle school years (or not &#8211; but I hope not). Memoirs don&#8217;t usually peer into the unknown future, but yours can with predition pages and such.</p>

<ul>
<li>Language Arts Classes &#8211; EOG preparation
<ul>
<li>In class we will be continuing our Holocaust unit of study
<ul>
<li>We had been viewing portions of the made for TV production called <em>Anne Frank.</em> If you missed what we saw in class, you can find <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&amp;search_query=anne+frank+the+whole&amp;aq=f">the entire TV production on YouTube</a>, as well as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&amp;search_query=anne+frank+play&amp;aq=f">the entire play version. </a>
<ul>
<li>Your job was to take notes while viewing the movie excerpts in order to write a compare/contrast essay discussing the similarities and differences between aspects of the play and the excerpts we saw.</li>
<li><em><span style="color: #0000ff;">You can DOUBLE your grade by providing a detailed Double Bubble Map that goes with your essay.</span></em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>We will also be using class sets of EOG Preparation resources in our final approach to the EOG test.
<ul>
<li>How about some Holocaust current events?
<ul>
