In class today, we took a day off from our march through time to experience another way of learning history: Through children's literature. Some of the best historical writing, in my experience, occurs when an author's interest is sparked by something he or she didn't know before. Who was this person? Why did this event occur? So today, we had a snack and read in the library. I shared a book I found interesting, and offered you a chance to spend time with our library's collection of history trade books to see what you could learn. Also, we had snacks - and who doesn't like snacks??
HOMEWORK: If you did not finish your map and questions, please bring them tomorrow. Our test retake will be on Thursday or Friday of this week - start reviewing if you think you want to retake the test! You will get your original tests back tomorrow.
Here are some action shots of per 5 getting their read on:
Here's Wyatt looking up a word on his device, right???
I really enjoyed today's class, guys. I got to share some stories, you got to eat snacks, we all got some time in a different setting - it was a win-win!
