I teach 5th grade, so I had to edit some of the topics for appropriateness. But, this is a great activity to demonstrate how point of view affects (did I get that word right?) how people talk and write about things. Also, a great opportunity to show children how to discuss ideas in a respectful, open-minded way.

This simplified my presentation. It did the job! I would also like to see a couple of slides incorporated showing why we move the decimal place. Otherwise, a great tool!

Thanks! Imported this for my interactive whiteboard and it worked well. Only comment would be that I spent time presenting multiplying and dividing by multiples of 10 because of movement to smaller/larger units. Once kids see what is going on, then I tell them the shortcut of simply moving the decimal. perhaps a slide or two illustrating this concept would make it a more complete package. But...thanks bunches. I like your work!

I was expecting for $3 and when the description stated literary notes powerpoint more than 4 slides...this was very misleading!!!

Dear Ashausbekbrk,
I'm very sorry that you were not pleased with the product, but there was nothing misleading in the product description. At no point in the description for this product does it state that the PowerPoint is more than four slides. Though the PowerPoint is only four slides, at only $3, I feel as though the product is a good buy as it has animations, sound effects, and examples. Again, I'm sorry you were not pleased with your purchase.
God bless,
Mignon

dmsackley re: Metric System PowerPoint Notes with Class Practice
Do you have a typo on slide 5? When talking about kilo- you say kilo is 1000 times the base unit and you go on to say it is 20 times larger than hecto. Shouldn't that be 10 times larger than hecto?

I actually uploaded that PowerPoint for a science teacher friend of mine. I will ask her and get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you!

billfortune1978 re: Author's Purpose and Point of View Debate Game
Your ppt is a great activity, but how does it teach author's purpose? Ill will read over it again. Thank you. great idea!

Mignon (TpT Seller)
Hi, thank you for your question. You're my first question on here. :-)
I tell my students that an author's point of view about a topic will affect the way he/she writes about that topic and his/her purpose for writing. For example, let's say that a person's point of view is that abortion is wrong. If he/she were to write an article on abortion, that individual's purpose in writing would most likely be to persuade others to be against abortion as well. After our mini-debates, I have students look back on classmates' responses, identify the students' point-of-view on certain topics, and predict what their purpose would be if they were to write an essay on the topics in question. Hope this helps! If not, please email me. :-)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
This is my eleventh year as an English/Language Arts teacher. I have worked with many different students from those who are at-risk to Advanced Placement. I've created several online courses and currently teach hybrid classes using Moodle.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I try to incoporate technology as well as the students' interests and abilities in my classroom as much as possible. I am a strong believer in active learning. I attempt to find creative and fun ways to teach materials. I also endeavor to foster a sense of community in each class and engage students in activities that encourage them to be thoughtful and socially-involved citizens of tomorrow.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
Some of my accomplishments include: Outstanding Student-Teacher Award for Rollins College, Outstanding First-Year Teacher Award for my school and county, Outstanding Minority Teacher Award for my school and county, Teacher of the Year for my school and county, Jaycee's Outstanding Young Teacher of the Year for the state of Florida, two Disney's Teacheriffic Outstanding Program Awards...
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Rollins College in 2001. My major was English and my minor was Secondary Education.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I married my high school sweetheart in 2001. In 2007, my husband and I began the adoption of our now five-year old daughter. Later that same year, my husband accepted the call to become a pastor and we opened the doors to the ministry God has given us called "Victorious Living Christian Worship Center."
