Hi Folks!
Today was mostly productive (for the majority of you...) as we practiced formulating responses for Jan 20th's assessment, caught up on reading, and worked on book studies. Some of us, have started off 2020 with a "laissez-faire" type of attitude -- yes, you heard me -- and it is my suggestion that we get that out of our systems quick... There's lots on the go!
As a reminder, you are always being assessed individually - regardless of whether you collaborate in pairs/groups... Projects where people get the same mark are not the "style" in Grade 8, and it doesn't demonstrate what a single student actually knows...so, be sure to make solid decisions when it comes to using class time effectively, and be wise for what you need to do for yourself and your own learning.
Reminder:
- Your Humanities journals were meant to have been handed in yesterday, but since I was not in the building, I extended it to today at the end of class...
8-1: 14 of you have NOT submitted your journals.
8-2: 13 of you have NOT submitted your journals.
They are now considered late for those students.
Upcoming Dates:
- Assessment: Jan 20, 2020 (refer to ShareFolder)
- Lockyer Times: Humanism DUE: Jan 24, 2020 (hard copy of task-sheet handed out Jan 13)
- Book Reports DUE: Jan 29, 2020 (refer to ShareFolder) followed by in-class Gallery Walk on Jan 30.
**You were given blocks yesterday and today to work on all of the above.
Tomorrow, we continue with our inquiry of Renaissance Europe -- primarily the Italian City-States, and also, get to know a little bit about Martin Luther... not King. :)
Reset. Stay warm. Come prepared.
See you demain mes amis.
