Another great day to be a teacher. Students were given the daunting task to try and create "5 BIG" questions that we should be able to answer by studying ancient civilizations. It was homework, but it wasn't homework. I want students to think and reflect, not necessarily come to class with answers (right or wrong). I want students to stay engaged in class in the cafeteria, the bus and at home. Students came to class with some amazing questions, especially since it was a very ambiguous assignment.
Students then worked together to refine their questions. Ms. Daugherty had the awesome idea to hang gigantic sheets of paper on the walls labeled with different aspects of culture. Students wrote their questions on post-it notes and had to find the appropriate category where their question belonged. Pictures will be up soon! Students collaborated, created and moved around the room. Thinking, learning, creating my curriculum and having fun!
Keep it up 7A, you are a great group of students and your engagement with curriculum is outstanding!
