Algebraic Thinking:
We challenged our math understanding by applying our algebraic thinking to Error Analysis with problems similar to those we worked on last week. The kids did a good job in identifying errors and providing correct solutions.
Novel Study:
We continued reading our Survival Novels. Our critical thinking activity was to evaluate the scariest event in the story and describe what we would have done in that situation.
Unit Study:
We continued our Survivor Research Projects. The results are looking pretty good!
We watched the Scooby Doo movie as a backdrop for Survivor Thinking! As we watched, we chose one of the characters as our Survivor. Then we answered critical thinking questions in the form of Tweets, Emails, and a Reflection. The kids showed deep understanding of the feelings, motivation, and insights of the characters and their trait. Lots of opportunity for discussion about teamwork.
