December 10: Classwork and Homework

In-Class:

• Journal: List the pros and cons to year round school (only a 6 week summer and longer breaks throughout the year) versus school with a 2.5 month summer break.
• We debated both sides of this argument. Students put their name on a sticky note and put it on the board under which side they agreed with.  Our class was pretty evenly distributed.  We called on people to share why they put their sticky note where they did.
• We did a group activity on pages 6-8 of Marita's bargain (20 points)
• We read pages 8-12 as a class and discussed them.
• We did an assignment on our own on pages 12-14 of "Marita's Bargain" (10 points).

Homework:

• Finish personal worksheet.
