17-26 February

Apologies for the missing entries.

I was out sick at the end of last week.

On Monday, 24 February students worked with Ms. Kokes from the College and Career Center on Career related work.



Other classes have been engaged in an ongoing activity that will result in an essay that answers the question:

What was the Progressive Era?


Students worked in teams to create analytical posters that described the various reform(er)s of the era. Each group presented their findings to other groups.

Last week, each student was given a graphic organizer and asked to review their notes, and the posters to plan an essay.

Tuesday/Wednesday students worked on drafting these essays. Students will have a few minutes on Thursday/ Friday to finish the drafts.

Next students will engage in a peer review and revision activity. Mr. Zartler will then give some feedback on the drafts before students are assigned a final draft due date.
