This number must be worn on the front of the shirt. The four pins in the kit are to fasten the number to the shirt.. At the relay exchange zones there are sign posts with numbers. Stand in between the sign posts that are appropriate (i.e. 5600-5700). The runners will exchange the chip and look for each other in these numerical zones. *****</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"> All runners must wear the relay exchange number attached to the belt at all times.

They are expected to take responsibility for their own learning and behaviour. In grade 8, we will help them make a connection to their community and the world around them. An important aspect of this year is to develop critical thinking skills that will help them to prepare for the demands of High School in Grade 9.</span></div>

Our goal is to help that happen. Sometimes things interfere with a child’s learning. It is our job to identify the source of the problem and to take the necessary steps to ensure the child’s success. </span></div>

We may try a different teaching strategy, help the student work more effectively in groups and individually or it may be necessary to adapt programs to fit the needs and abilities of the student. It may be necessary to work with a student by pulling them out of class for short periods of time or by providing support directly in the classroom. In addition, we are able to call on specialists within the division for consultation. </span></div>

We need the support and commitment of parents to help when their children are experiencing difficulties at school. When a problem arises at school, we contact the home to explain difficulties and enlist the help of parents. Parents and students are invited and encouraged to contact us if they are experiencing any difficulties and would like extra support. Our goal is to provide the most suitable classroom environment as well as access to all possible services in order to help our students achieve his or her potential.</span></div>

You will need to know the following.<br />
<br />
The conference will be using a program called <a href="https://www.scirra.com/construct2">Construct2</a>. It is a free download from the internet and great for you to use at home before the conference.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>It would be beneficial for you to have a USB memory stick to save material on at the conference.</b></span><br />
<br />
Here are some video tutorials you can watch before the conference. They show you how to set up Construct2 and play around in the program itself.<br />

This year at Sargent Park the students are allowed to BYOD. This is an exciting oppotunity for our Grade 8's. Teachers will be offering students opportunities all year to use their personal devices in the classroom. <br />
<br />
There are some ways they will be used<br />

This year the Marathon Course is reversed. Here are some helpful links for the race. Your runner is on the spreadsheet. It tells you when to arrive at the exchange (purple) and when the expected time of their team mate will arrive(white). I have also given an approximate time for your runner to finish their leg. <b>Please practice getting to the exchange points before the race. Expect delays and give yourself plenty of time to get there on race day. <span style="color: red;">For you veterans of the race there is a change this year. We are running Backwards!! Be aware of new exchange points please.</span></b><br />

Good morning everyone. Here are your first instructions on making your 2 Minutes project this year. In years past we have made a movie and had you publish them to Youtube. This year we are making a magazine and publishing it. If you still wish to make a movie it can be part of the interactive magazine you are making.<br />
<br />
Here are your first instructions. Most of what are in these instructions you have done already. You will be expected to have certain things completed every week. Yep one week per assignment. Please stay up to date so that your finished product is a awesome as possible.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have attached many videos to this post and you cannot see Janette in back row but she had “clappers”. I do not know the proper term for them but every time she got to play them she would jump up and smile a smile that was so large that you could see it all over the theatre. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Music is such a part of many students lives at Sargent Park we are lucky to have teachers that love their job and get the most out of our talented students.</span><br />

<br />
You should already have all your information gathered for this project. You now need to organize it in to a Movie Story Arc.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1eZvd5VyAVh6X31AASQ_Jx2ylq2VDT0wkMxHyTC2G83WlFF3LQkb6NHlMaWK5xvByj9-PPGazKdZOMV19WcmeA7rn9j8CZztAspI_bKhe7ODq3ntSDzoZ4AXFHx2cdggT2J0DrJ4qZ4p5/s1600/Screen+Shot+2015-04-06+at+8.27.43+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1eZvd5VyAVh6X31AASQ_Jx2ylq2VDT0wkMxHyTC2G83WlFF3LQkb6NHlMaWK5xvByj9-PPGazKdZOMV19WcmeA7rn9j8CZztAspI_bKhe7ODq3ntSDzoZ4AXFHx2cdggT2J0DrJ4qZ4p5/s1600/Screen+Shot+2015-04-06+at+8.27.43+AM.png" height="185" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
While the movie arc is the same for all projects how many points you use will be up to you. I recommend less than 16 points of information for the entire 2 minutes. <br />
<br />
To start off your movie you need to I<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>dentify your issue</b></span> and hook us on <b><span style="color: red;">Why we should care.</span> </b>You need to be specific here. Do not just say poverty is bad talk about your specific topic and why we need to pay attention. I recommend between 5 and 6 pieces of information to hook us here. This is the upswing in the Movie Story Arc and takes us up to the top of the plateau. The points you choose should gain in importance as we climb the arc to the top.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Most important points</b></span> are at the top of the arc. You now have our attention. You need to hit us hard with information that is shocking and disturbing. These points are why there is an issue at play. Do not use more that 3 to 4 points to make your point.<br />
<br />
Now that we care about your topic you need to give us information about H<span style="color: purple;"><b>ow we can make a difference.</b></span> What agencies are out there that we can donate to or volunteer for. As grade 8 students how do WE make a difference? You also have to tell us <span style="color: red;"><b>how you made a difference</b></span>. You will briefly describe what you did and show evidence of your work.<br />
<br />
The final part of your movie you go back to your information. You can either repeat your most important points or you can use new points to keep us hooked. This is an important part of your movie. Do not end with a fizzle but with a bang. Inspire use to make a difference. This is why you are making a movie in the first place.<br />

See you then.<br />
