Review for Eastern Europe Map Test (Thursday, November 4).
Ch. 14, Section 1 was read and discussed as a class. Students were introduced to this unit's project. Each section of Social Studies will be participating in a class blog about topics learned about in our Eastern Europe unit. Blogs encourage students to share their viewpoints and opinions without actually having to share them in person in front of the rest of the class. It also helps to eliminate being interrupted by another student and helps to make sure that all students are heard. Blogs are being used more and more in today's education - especially at the college level so we are excited to be giving students this opportunity.
Students were given a purple sheet with the questions that are on the blog. This week students are reading and discussing Chapter 14 (Eastern Europe) and preparing their answers to post to the blog.
Next week, students will post their responses and then respond to and evaluate classmates' posts.
