5th hour -- we finished "The Presidents" DVD episode as detailed yesterday. In all classes we worked on the Unit-Closure Work Page (to help our thinking/organizing for the end-of-unit writing and to prepare for final exams) -- finish for homework as needed! The end-of-unit E.Q. writing and the Curiosity Research will both be optional for students who are pleased with their current skill scores in those two areas. Instructions sheets for each of these two skills were distributed to students who either have low scores in those areas presently or who have zeroes for not completing them previously. Students who have decent scores but still desire to improve further are absolutely welcome to this option!
