Advisory:
Students having a choice, and allowed to be creative! Students had previously suggested that they have a friendly competition with other advisory groups. Today they created a list of possible games to play with the other advisory class, as well as who they wanted to challenge, and what name they would like to give their advisory class.
World Studies:
Creativity (and critical thinking)- students created a visual representation of the renaissance period. Ms. Wilson gave a reminder to a group of students that people of the renaissance period were inventive. Ms. Wilson encouraged one student to close the picture on her laptop and draw how she sees it, not how it was portrayed on the computer.
Oral Communication- “Volume” was understood by all. Both teachers, and students, would say this when a student was talking too quietly when addressing the whole class.
Collaboration- Groups were asked to share the difference between two words (art and symbol). In one group a girl stated her opinion while the other two members listened. Then the other group members were able to share their opinion, but first acknowledged the opinion of others by saying “I agree with...” or “I disagree with…”.
Both teachers worked well together! Both teachers are circulating the classroom during activity to answer questions and check on progress.
Tours and Marketing:
Collaboration- One group, after completing their tasks for the day, collaborating on their committee work by all working at the same table, facing each other, and worked on one shared Google Doc.
Work Ethic- Students were asked to complete a Debrief Journal for the tasks they have done this past week. The questions were focused on individual accountability.
