Dragonwings Project: Kites and Gliders
Hi Students,
After today's introduction to the Dragonwings kite and glider project, which is due October 6th, I thought it would be helpful if I posted a few links. These links provide step-by-step video instructions on the making of simple kites and paper gliders. Here is a link to an e-how demonstration of how one can craft a kite out of plastic: http://www.ehow.com/videos-on_4467_make-kite.html. Obviously, you can probably use similar techniques demonstrated in the series of video demonstrations to use with plastic or other materials, such as paper or cloth. Here is another ehow demonstration of how to make a kite out of paper: http://www.ehow.com/video_4790375_make-paper-kite.html. Here is a demonstration of how to make a paper glider: Making Gliders. I hope these links are helpful in your endeavors. Remember that the informational sheet and rubric for the project are available for download on the handouts page of the blog. Good luck on the project and remember that it is due on Monday, October 6th!

Joining Google Classroom
This school year, I will periodically be using Google Classroom
with you. In order to make this happen, I need you to sign up for your class.
Here are the four simple steps to make it happen.
Step 1) Visit the class blog at: http://callumcorner.blogspot.com
Step 2) On the homepage of the blog on the right-hand-side,
click on the link to Google Classroom.
Step 3) Using your Boston Public Schools (BPS) Google e-mail
address, “Sign-Up” for Google
Classroom. Your e-mail address will look something like this: xxxxx@bostonk12.org. If you don’t know
your BPS e-mail, for now, you may use your current address.
Step 4) Once you sign up on Google Classroom. You will need
to “Join” the class. Each class has
a different code. Each code is case sensitive. The code is based on your
Reading section number. Please look at the following list of codes and select
the appropriate one:
