Greetings!
We had a wonderful day today and combined both work and fun on this final day.
Homework & Grades
The Final Edits for their Victorian Invention Essays were due today. I will grade those and any other homework that was handed in; my goal is to have final grades out soon. I mentioned to the class that I will take any homework submitted by December 21 at 11:59 p.m. If there are any questions, please contact me. Because I have writing and projects from both my classes, I know that I won't have the work ready for final grades until after Christmas. Look for them some time after the New Year.
The Wrap-Up
As a culminating event, students were given a few minutes to put the finishing touches on their A Christmas Carol presentations. When the timer went off, students were ready to put on their productions. They had the option of a game show, a news broadcast, a mimed scene or a one-minute story all based on the characters and action from the novel. They sure are a creative bunch!
Next, we combined work and fun with a quiz on the Fall Visual Vocabulary in the form of a KAHOOT! game. I will record their scores and use it as their grade.
Before our next segment, each table helped themselves to the hot chocolate bar and snacks that I brought. These were good fortifications before they took their test.
The “test” over A Christmas Carol was in the form of a game called ZAP! The class split into teams and had fun answering questions and things got a little competitive! ZAP! Is not only a question/answer game, but it also allows teams to steal points from each other. The winners received bragging rights and a candy reward. The class really enjoyed this wrapping up time together.
My prayer is that all of you have a great Christmas that includes lots of love and laughter!
Blessings,
Mrs. G
