Things to do on Day 1

  1. Partner activity

  2. Who Am I Survey - take a few minutes to complete this survey so I can learn a little bit about you.

  3. Email to a teacher - Purpose: All students are required to have an email account to communicate with me. Email is one of the major communication tools in business and education. 80% of employers say that high school students need to improve their written communications.
    This is the procedure you should use for every email to a teacher. Of course the body will be different but make sure to check for typos and errors.

    1. go to www.gmail.com and login with your jajags account.
    2. In the To: box put my email -- jdavis(at)jajags.com. Replace (at) with the @ sign.
    3. Type in the Subject line: Practice Email
    4. In the Message body:
      Type a greeting such as Dear Ms. Davis
      Then write 5-10 sentences telling me about yourself. This can be favorite things, pets, sports, hobbies, anything you want me to now about you, etc.
