ELA 20: Oct 16 Listening and drawing… at the same time!

  1. We started the class by answering the questions for Chapter one of the novel. Then I offered the students a choice: continue working on their illustrations while I read, or read the second Chapter together. (Some people can focus on two tasks at the same time, while others cannot. They seemed pretty confident they could focus on both.)
  2. I started reading the novel, but then realized I could just play the narrated version I have on tape. They worked, I worked, and we all listened. It was a good class!

ELA A10: Oct 16 Study period in exchange for Homework!

  1. The 10s came into class early today prepared to make a bargain – they’d do today’s work at home over the weekend in exchange for the class time to study for their Forensics exam next period. It seemed like a fair exchange.
  2. I had a few students complete small assignments they were missing, as well, so we checked a few things off our list.
