Tuesday, 2.22 (Blue Day)

Social Studies

I introduced our final project on Globalization today. Students spent Tuesday (and will also work the next two class periods) on a final project that answers three main questions. The questions are:

  1. What is Globalization?
  2. What caused Globalization?
  3. How will Globalization affect me?
Students have the choice of how to do their project. They can use programs on the computer, or they can handwrite the assignment in essay form. Many students are using Glogster or Prezi online - these are presentation programs that can be used anywhere they can access the internet.

The final project for the students in Blue 34 will be due on Tuesday, March 1st.

Literature

Students had a work day today - I gave them one class period to turn in any missing assignments - we have quite a few assignments missing in our Literature classes. Any assignment that was turned in today was considered late ... this won't affect their score on their work - but I do think it's important that students and parents know that they're handing their work in late.
