End of Year - Day 4

Greetings! Welcome to the last week of junior year!

To wrap things up for our class, we have a few final pieces. Here is your work for the next two days, along with suggested amounts of time for each (although you may find it takes less time). Please be sure to do them in order.

  1. Brain Wave activity (30 minutes)
  2. Reflective writing (60-90 minutes)
  3. Tile project (30 minutes) 
We will start class on Tuesday / Wednesday (at 1:15 pm) with a short zoom call to check in and to discuss whatever questions you have. The links to the meetings will be in the Schoology update.

Also, on Friday, for our final class together (!) we will have a zoom meeting to share our tiles and have some closure. We look forward to seeing all of you (zoom cameras on!) for our final time together. We will post links to those meetings on Thursday night in a Schoology update.

Sharing responses and discussion

Happy Friday!

For today, you should start by going back to the Flipgrid for your class. Spend about 15 minutes watching different videos from your classmates. Choose two to respond to by recording a video. Think about: what did you learn from this person's piece of writing? What ideas or perspectives in their piece are new to you? What does it lead you to think about?
Here are links to use:

Then, we look forward to seeing you in our discussion. Remember, there are new groups for this week.


See you soon!
