Monday 27

I went to the Elementary School. I saw Mrs Farley's English class. She had a revissio lesson, the kids had been reading some Indian American legends and their task was to make a cover and a table of contents with all the material they had, worksheets, directions, handouts, tests, grade sheets. It was a very independent work, they reviewed all the material and furthermore they realized what they hadn't done and what they had. Self-evaluation at the same time. Then I went to see Mr Douglas in action, he much better with younger kids than with teens. The topic was the family and the students worked very enthusiastically and practiced their Spanish a lot.
After lunch I went to see Mr Dehart English Lesson on King Lear. It was a round table discussion on scene 3. (If any of the students had not read the scene, they had to go to the study hall and do their reading, after that they could come back, all the same they can also be given a detention for this. There were 14 students, 4 very active, the rest very weak or uninterested)
Last period with Chris Davies, History. They were doing also some revision, especially they worked on how to orgaize their schedule to be able to study and finish with all their homework. Back home we had dinner, left overs, and that's it.
