Thinking Tuesday....Completion of the Reformation
Hello! Welcome back from the 4 day weekend! Today we jumped right back in to it! Students received their socratic seminar self-assessment which had the official grade on it as well. This process was explained to the students who were encouraged to speak with us if there was a difference between the grade earned and the grade expected. Students then continued with the cafe conversations which were started on Wednesday and completed today. Students shared out their answers to the document based questions (DBQ) which included their claim and the evidence from each of their documents. Students then reviewed for the quiz tomorrow. Students were encouraged to check Edmodo for specifics for what to study (handout given with background information also posted on Edmodo, cafe conversation discussion, chapter 31 and 32 over view but not specifics from it...only what we have discussed in class). Students were told they need to be able to explain about the main ideas ocurring during the Reformation. Assessment tomorrow! Practice writing about it!
