Final Project

Has it been 8 weeks already? Nope, only 7. We posted our drafts of the final project this week and have been peer reviewing them. We have next week to rewrite, fix, and repair based on the comments.

The project wasn't too bad. I like trying to find ways to make assignments that go beyond "Read the chapter and write the answers to the review questions at the end of the chapter." So sad to know that is still being done in history classes.

My unit lesson asked high school juniors and seniors to view a streaming video and take recall quiz, interpret a cartoon, make a comparison of those living in the early 20th century and those living today, and make connections among the events of the video. My draft is available for you if you would like to read it.
