Wednesday, 2.23 (White 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 White 12 will be due Monday, March 7th. The project will on Wednesday, March 2nd.

Literature

Students worked on an assignment called "A Time for Everything" that focused on answering questions related to plot and theme, and finding the main idea and supporting details in the story. The assignment was due at the end of the class today.
