Miss Scherer's Weekly Update
5B Humanitites
Our Week (January 6th to 10th)
We have had a great week as we ease into 2020!
Students have:
- been researching to determine if Christopher Columbus had more of a positive effect or a negative effect on the world.
- demonstrating knowledge of "mood" in literature.
- demonstrating knowledge of "theme" in literature.
- applied for a new Classroom Leadership Role.
- read and completed activities about the Columbian Exchange.
- Learned more about our "Reading Accountability Buddies." We had discussed what it means to be an accountability buddy, how we can challenge and encourage each other, how to create attainable reading goals, how to summarize our meetings in our journals and what our weekly meetings will look like and sound like.
