WEB Boom Boom! Card Assignment
The biggest reason you were chosen to be a WEB leader was not your supreme ninja
skills even though I know you guys have them! It was because YOU ARE ALL NICE
PEOPLE! I didn’t know how to grade this but Ms. Vang did! She’s a genius!
Welcome to the world of Boom Boom! Cards! This is going to fun! Here’s the deal:
You are going to be assigned two Boom Boom! Cards. Follow the directions on the
card. You will be graded on your online essays that you write about your
experience. When you are done with your assigned cards pass them to another
WEB student. You will need to do 9 Boom Boom! Cards and write about them
online by the end of the trimester (about one random act of kindness a week).
Hey, Mr. Sheridan, how long does each assignment have to be?
Each essay must be at least 300 quality words. This is about ¾ of typed page.
Note: I know the difference between good writing and just using a lot of words
to take up space.
Hey, Mr. Sheridan, how will I know if it is 300 words or not?
Type your responses in Microsoft Word first and use the “word count” tool
under the “Tools” menu. When you are done, save it! Then copy and paste it
onto the website.
Hey, Mr. Sheridan, how do I post this online?
1. Go to http://www.boomboomcards.com
2. Click on “Log in.”
3. Your user name is……… bcms web class
4.
You password is………… panther1
5. Click on “Register a card or Deck”
6. Type the code from the card.
7. Once you have registered the card, find the card in the Pending Cards.
Click on your card and write your story! You can even upload a picture
or video if you want to get super cool!
8. Don’t forget to write your name in the title of your essay so I can easily
check who is being nice!
Hey, Mr. Sheridan, I still don’t get it!
Don’t worry, I’ll show you an example and probably show you a few more
throughout the trimester. I’m excited to do these too!
Hey, Mr. Sheridan, how can we start a revolution of kindness with these cards?
At the end of the trimester, you are going to give your cards to other people
who will do what the card says and then pass it on. We will get to see the
kindness spreading throughout the community, country and world!
Start spreadin’ the love!
Hey Mr. Sheridan, is there a rubric you will be using for grading our essays?
Heck yes there is! Here it is.
