Greetings!
We are in Week 14 of this term. The last 2 weeks of our time together are set for the students to give presentations about their research projects. We didn't do any test essays, vocabulary, or grammar work today. Our class time was devoted to presentations. Between the presentations, we played a round of "Articulate," a game in which players try to make each other says words by giving them clues.
We had three presentations today from Michael, Caitlyn, and Kayla. They each gave short speeches which summarized their research. We had visual aids and touching stories. Afterward, the students fielded questions from their classmates. The students also game some feedback to one another about the strengths and positive aspects of their presentations. They were good masters of their material.
Following the presentations, we discussed the process of this project. I asked them what they learned about their topics that they found surprising or especially interesting. I also asked them what they learned about themselves as researchers, writers, and learners. They have all been very thoughtful, deliberate, and hard-working.
Next week -- Danielle, Hanna, and Charity will give their presentations.
The students also mentioned "treats." Feel free to bring any goodies to class.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Prichard
