So we had a week off. It was almost too long. The only thing super exciting that I did was to go to the observatory with Jackie. If you haven't been since the renovation, I totally recommend it! We got to look through the big telescope and we saw Saturn and 5 of its moons. It was totally cool. Other than that my break was pretty laid back.
We wrapped up the WW2 Unit before break. The kids did pretty well on the test. I was impressed but then again, it is honors. As for the essays, they need to improve on their essay writing skills because they are Freshmen. When asked for specific examples, they simply said, "just like this". They also used I and Me a lot in the essays.
As for the lesson plans, I'm so glad that I got to see a WW2 unit. Of course I will have to do things differently but I really enjoyed seeing how to utilize films and how to break the information down for students.
The cold war is next. I have started the lesson plans for this week and next. I'm still not sure how to teach Korea and Vietnam but I'm working on it. Its going to be a good 4 weeks. Im excited to be done!
