Test Last Wednesday Shows Improvement
As grades are coming in, early results show marked improvement over last unit's grades!
Students Take Over New Unit.
This Thursday, we began our new unit on the Protestant Reformation
and Mercantilism. The students have taken the lead in researching and
gathering information on the topics under review. So far we are showing
much progress towards understanding what these topics were all about.
We examined the journal of Fr. Jacques Marquette as he traveled to the
Mississippi River. We also began clustering our information to make it
simpler for our minds to access.
""Un-asked" Questions.
We also discovered that our textbook leaves out some important
information, which give us the opportunity to investigate further. For
example, the textbook tells us that Martin Luther wanted to reform the
Catholic Church, but not why. We learned that John Calvin was an
influential theologian, but nothing of his theology. These questions we
will examine further in the coming days.
Quiz Wednesday
We will have our usual quiz Wednesday to assess how we are doing so far.
New app for next week
I will be using a new app to keep track of classroom management this week called Class Dojo. It is a remarkable app that will allow me to keep up with positive (and negative) class behaviors. You can learn more about it at https://www.classdojo.com/
