Empires context/lens work pages were returned with some discussion. Log score onto your skills scores tracking page. Make corrections as needed. Overall, students made excellent use of the staged, supported work through this challenging piece and maintained or improved their context/lens scores. Well done! The majority of class time was spent in the lab for day #5 of 8 research days for their "Empires Project." Students were reminded generally that nearly all of their points comes from the research (and that the slide show is simply the icing on the cake to make the sharing of info easier), and, specifically, to read and follow carefully the clear, step-by-step instructions provided to them at the start of this research work. (As always, students are encouraged to continue asking questions of me while we're in class together accomplishing this work.)
