Period 5:  We continue with SciFi Presentations, today and tomorrow.  When we finish, we'll start researching "How To" videos.  Share an example with your classmates.
Here are a few that I like, because they are short, simple and fun (be patient with the commercials at the beginning):
How to Make A Hamburger
How To Climb A Tree 
How To Dress Like A Ninja 
How to Straighten Your Hair Without Heat 
How to Win in Halo 3
How to Kick A Soccer Ball
