(Sorry I forgot to post yesterday)
Wednesday:
Hope our art students had a great time at Art Prize, thanks Mrs. Eden!!
In class we continued verbal tests (almost done with all students), watched CNN Student News and discussed Government shut down, and continued learning about culture with brainstorm notes and atlas activity.
TEST UPDATE: Yesterday students took a test that included 2 writing prompts. Students wrote a paragraph describing one of the answers and are verbally telling me the other answer. These questions were meant to show deeper knowledge than the usual multiple choice or fill in tests. There were several different answers that students concluded after reading about issues in class, watching video clips, and in class activities and discussions. Some of the answers show surface learning, but I have really seen some great thoughtful answers by many students - thank you!! I will grade these as soon as possible, I will finish over the weekend and enter the grades into Powerschool Monday (I hope).
No homework
