Moving right along
Since this is the third marking period and some of the students have had me for other classes they understand my teaching style. This allows me to move at a faster pace and cover a little more material than the other two previous classes.
Now that the new students are here, I started the class off by giving the students an overview, course outline and the vocabulary list with instructions for the students to review this information. I advised them that we would cover the material during the next couple of classes.
In addition, during the week the students viewed NOVA’s “Global Warming” DVD. After we viewed the DVD the students had a group discussion, then wrote an essay covering the DVD and their discussion.
While everything else was going on, some of the students needed to complete their solar array spreadsheets and charts. I must say, some of the charts were a bit colorful for my taste (see above.) Yes, they are having fun! At the same time, the data is there and they are learning the required information.
