So, today essentially turned into a giant study hall. The only new material I introduced was the study guide linking diffusion to the various Prokaryotic structures we've been reading and talking about. (I will post that below.) The information needs to be turned into flashcards, which will be checked off on Tuesday (I think.) We also checked off the flashcards that were due today for the Prokaryote Terms and Definitions.
I have been grading the research papers. Overall, the major issues I'm seeing are unclear or missing explanations, and then some minor things with missing reference sections or incorrect citation format. I will have all those graded and entered by Monday, so we can discuss them then. I'm thinking the final draft will be due next Friday? Possibly? More on that later.
In social studies, each class had some time to finish cooperatively reading and translating the Fiction to Fact Native American text from the past few days. Because so many people need to be responsible for finishing that, I reduced the assignment to a single CAR out of the 3 options. This is due Monday for all classes.
Don't forget, the Summative essays will be done next Thursday in class! make sure you think about those, and come in with a plan on what you will write about! Preparation is essential to success!
I hope everyone has a good weekend!
