The day finally arrived when we take our first unit test. Unit one portfolios were also due today. I absolutely loved reading the students' analysis of the work that they did in unit one. We had consensus that time management is the most critical aspect of taking the ACT. We also almost had consensus that the most difficult assignment in unit one was the Malawi conversions. It was gratifying to read the students' responses to the water purification issues. Emotions ranged from shock to anger to sadness to determination. Several students want to make a lasting impression on the world after reading about the conditions in developing countries. :)
Next week we begin our second unit. We will have a fun activity to do on Monday involving water, filter paper, markers, and plastic cups so we won't need our close-toe shoes. Beginning on Wednesday, we are back to using hot plates and glassware so close-toe shoes and long pants are a must!
Don't forget to outline sections 2.1 and 2.2 for Monday's class.
