Today in Humanities, students began the class by voting for the class design that they would like for our new class layout. Then, they became researchers. We talked about sources and the differences between primary and secondary sources, listing examples of each. We discussed bibliographies and made a list of sources students could use to help them gather information for their topic. If students did not complete this list it is for homework. We will begin to analyze different types of sources tomorrow.
In Social Studies, Ms. Cassaro taught a lesson with the current events that students brought in for homework. Students broke off into groups to discuss their current events and then decided which event (locally, nationally and internationally) had the most impact on their lives. Students decided in each class which event was most meaningful to them and why. Students then did a current event scavenger hunt to search for specific information in the current event text.
HOMEWORK: 6B needs to complete the list of sources that will help in their research and complete the current event scavenger hunt sheet from Ms. Cassaro. 6A has the extra credit option of doing the current event scavenger hunt for Ms. C.
