Great classes and great outcomes so far from the 11th grade class! Students really seem to be thinking in depth and all my assessments indicate that students are getting what they need to understand. I am quite impressed and cant wait to see ID paragraphs tomorrow.
Geo
Positive - Pd11 moved on to studying place, they are going to investigate the culture of the Knox area. Following the study, we will discuss a number of other cultures along with methods for studying cultural geography. Following this period of time we will reinvestigate the culture of our own community.
Pd 10- I am extremely unhappy with outcomes in this class, I have covered map basics in a variety of ways and still only about 2/3 of students are displaying a 100% grasp of the skills involved. The others are close but the mistakes seem to be related to lack of effort. I need to find a way to get more students motivated to give effort when working. If the mistakes are not due to a lack of effort it means some students just arent getting it even when having multiple attempts, aid and even study guides in hand. Sadly i think it is the former and need, need, NEED to find a way to get them to be a bit less apathetic. I am hesitant to use this term but, body language, commentary and effort seem to indicate it. We need to get this turned around.
