YOUR QUEST...
It's All About You!
Yesterday we learned what a student-centered classroom is and that our class would be one! This WebQuest will help you learn more about how our class will be structured.
Quest #1: Read and Think
Probably by now, you have noticed that our classroom looks different. Where are all the desks? They are outta here! Will the tables and chairs be in here all the time? Yes, they absolutely will! Can you choose where you sit? Yes, but within reason. In order for our classroom to be a productive environment, I need you to agree to some parameters. Please click the link below, read the contract, and agree to it.
Quest #2: Complete the Contract
Quest #3: Survey Time
Are you a left-brain or right-brain thinker? Take this quiz to learn how your mind influences your learning style and techniques for strengthening both hemispheres of your brain.
Quest #4: Turn It In!
Make sure your name is on your brain page and turn it in to the correct spot.
Quest #5: Analyze
Take a good look at the picture below. Think to yourself: Based on the test you just took, do you think your results are accurate? What do you think is inaccurate?
Quest #6: Respond
