What we did today
For the first part of the day we discussed things coming up such as geography challenge being tomorrow, and explanations on our course selection for gr.9 and how it'll have more options than grade 8 course selection and other things. After doing some geography challenge rounds on European countries, festivals, and remarkable wind formations, we started looking at our novel projects and about how we read it more for learning social studies than English (such as learning about traditions, clothing etc. of the time), and expectations and criteria for the "concept maps" such having good information, organization and co-operation.
Why we did It
We discussed geography challenge so we'd all be ready for the fact that its tomorrow and we need to be focused in order to finish all the questions. We talked about the course selection because sometime this week, the counselors will be coming to our class to discuss about it and so we could learn more things about course selection if we were confused. We went over the concept map, mainly to learn what an actual concept map is and expectations for them since we would have to be working on them soon.
Connections/Reflections
I think that being able to choose our courses for next year would be an excellent way to prepare for later in our life when deciding what job you want, since choosing your courses and choosing a job are very similar in ways such as, don't do it if your just doing it to be with a friend, and to choose what would benefit you the most. I feel that they geography challenge might improve our geography skills so we can use them later in our lives and dont get lost planning a trip to Disneyland or any where else you might have to go that you are unfamiliar with.
Homework
I don't believe there is homework today but go to flex on thursday if you need the help or are stuck on homework and if you for some reason didn't Dinah reading your novel, than you should finish reading it
