ENGLISH: In a shortened session, we reviewed our flash cards, this time demanding the definition of our vocabulary words after the word is given. This exercise helps students identify the various meanings of our words. We then wrote in response to the following prompt: What are 3 good books or movies that you would recommend to a friend? Give detailed reasons why these books/movies are worth reading/watching. Students are encouraged to include as many of the vocabulary terms as they can.
RELIGION: Students wrote the Session 9 quiz.
SOCIAL STUDIES: To bolster the themes and fine points of yesterday's lesson on early empires, today we. played. Risk! In explaining the rules, students really got an opportunity to apply strategies to some of the problems of conquest that were outlined in our section. Additionally, students performed this task in assigned groups, forcing them to communicate clearly, efficiently, secretively and effectively in order to accomplish their goals. I am hoping to bring this game back in to our lessons at various moments to help students make sense of the many challenges global conquest poses.
