ADVANCED MATH: Students learned the definition of rational and
irrational numbers and were given a number of problems to practice their
understanding of the concept. The test on Looking for Pythagoras will be this Friday.
LA/SCIENCE: Students will be will be working on the debate unit, which covers a myriad of science, language arts, and social studies standards. Today students saw the breakdown of a recorded debate and found out their topic (but not their assigned stances.) They should be looking for strong resources to support both sides of their topic. My particular group should read through the articles posted on Edmodo and use the graphic organizer to organize the information shared in the articles.
NHD: We switched groups for social studies, and I have Group B. Today we just discussed the basic layout of NHD, the options for projects, and the theme. I also showed them several examples of exhibits from last year. Tomorrow we will go into a bit more about topic selection, project guidelines, and primary vs. secondary sources.
