Today we prepped for innovation night in both Culture and Conflict and Intro to Lit. I was so excited to go and see what all the students came up with for their final projects.
Today I had both Culture and Conflict blocks first. The students worked on their projects for innovation night. I mostly walked around and helped whoever needed it. I then went to senior seminar at 11. I had a quick lunch and headed to Athletes in Lit. During that block we watched Saltwater Buddha the movie. This was important to jog students memories on the book so that they can succeed on their final projects. I got to learn a little about grading freshman tests before dinner. With about 3:30 hours of work, it was a good day!
I started off my day by attending Culture and Conflict, where the students engaged in an interesting harness for American Spy. I created some of the questions with Ellie on Monday. For the second C&C block, students spent time in the library working on their final projects. After this I went to senior seminar at 11. Mel picked me up at the meeting house with her Athletes in Lit class to go on a little field trip to get ice cream. During the drive we talked about Saltwater Buddha and created clay figures related to the book. I ended my day by making sure the Athletes in Lit class students have been writing their journals for homework. It was a lovely sunny day with about 4 hours of work completed. :)
Today I attended both Culture and Conflict blocks in the morning. For the first block, we listened to a few students present on the intro sheet for American Spy. We also discussed the final project and students got to pick the African countries they would like to present on. For the second block, we watched part of Invictus with Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman, to get some insight on apartheid in South Africa, before diving in deeper into that country and many more. After lunch, we met for Athletes in Lit and walked down to the river to reflect on our years at proctor just as Jaimal does in Saltwater Buddha. Over all it was a successful day, with about 4 hours of work done.
