It is hard to believe there are only five more weeks of school ~ it was just yesterday that the year began. Of course, it will be a LONG five weeks. At the end of testing today, I was being asked if 'we were going to have fun now that TAKS was over?'
Depends on your definition of fun, so the answer is NO!!
The next two weeks will be a DBQ: "What was Harriet Tubman's Greatest Achievement?" Students will analyze primary source documents, write a thesis statement and develop an essay with supporting evidence. I was told by the high school history teacher that if students knew what a thesis statement was, he would be pleased.
As freshmen, students will be taking World Geography so we want to give them an intro to the course. Students are notoriously weak in objective 2 (geography) and maybe they will be interested in working (ha, ha) on something not related to American history.
