Our first week back, we wrapped up our neuroscience unit by writing an essay regarding how Phineas Gage is similar to adolescents. We spent four periods working on it in class, and students have already revised in order to improve their learning. This past week, we began our unit on science fiction. Here are all of our stories, and, as always here are our notes on what exactly we do each day with the stories.
Our one-on-one conferences regarding our learning for second quarter are going smoothly - some students are more reflective than others, as is the case with seventh graders. My main goal during these is PROGRESS. The goals students are making for themselves will take us further in our learning.
