Week Twenty-Eight

This Week

It's been a rare week of being in school all week, even though some schools closed yesterday! This week we focused on continuing our study of Globalization. Students were given a combination of readings and videos (even some cartoons) and took part in group discussions as we continued to grapple with our essential questions. I've been tracking the assignments on a Google Doc, which you can find here.

Today students also are taking their first geography quiz (first one in a while) over Asia. Hopefully they haven't lost this skill set!

Today is also National Bring Your Action Figure to Work Day.

I brought Batman...

 

 Upcoming Week

It's hard to believe that 3rd quarter ends next Friday. Students will be finishing up our Globalization unit and wrapping up the quarter, which means the following:

• Students must be sure they check to see that their posters have been received (they've been given detailed instructions on how to do this)
• Ms. Reid and I will grade posters next week and this will be added as a project grade in ProgressBook
• Once I receive grades from Ms. Reid I will input her grades into ProgressBook for the students' letters and we will mail them to their Members of Congress
• Students should study for the OGTs by taking the practice tests, found here
• Students must revise their portfolio reflections for World History by next Wednesday at 3:15 in order to revise their portfolios and receive a grade for that in my class - the directions were written on my board Thursday and I took a picture of them:

I think that about wraps it up! Have a great weekend, and please remember that your students' work will be unveiled and displayed at the Wright State Educational Resource Center on Wednesday, March 18, from 5-6PM. Hope you can make it out!
