We have been working on putting our ideas down on paper. First, students conducted a short research project on a famous structure making a flip book and poster of interesting information. These will be on display for parent teacher conferences in the hallway outside of our room.
In teams, students generated ten questions reviewing concepts we learned about during the first quarter. We will use these to play a game show next week in a fun competition. Some of the questions are tricky!
Lastly, students are writing a short paper defending their ideas regarding school lunch. They must consider multiple points of view when arguing their perspective. Furthermore, they must provide strong facts, or evidence, to support their beliefs. I told them it is their job to convince me to eat lunch at school! :) Seriously though, they are considering cost, allergies, time, personal preference, etc. I'm anxious to read their final reports!
