Welcome to my blog for 20th Century Studies I. I update my blog after each class. My goals are to have students use this site to find out what they missed when absent and to let you know what we are doing in class.
1st Semester is over and all students have a fresh start. Please take the opportunity to discuss this with your student. I want to work on communicating better with you and having them be more successful. We just finished our third unit of the semester, The Great Depression. We our now beginning our last unit, World War II. C level tasks are due June 1st, the B level task is due June 5th, and the A level task is due June 9th. The unit test will be part of the final exam. Final exams begin on June 11th and the schedule is available on the Sprague Website.
All missing work for the 3rd six weeks is due by 3:00 p.m. on June 5th.
Starting with our unit on the Industrial Revolution I began using the Layered Learning style of curriculum. Students will be given a list of tasks and then will choose which tasks they wish to complete. There are 3 levels- C, B, and A. All "C" level tasks must be completed before moving onto the "B" level, which must be completed before moving onto the "A" level. Please read Layered Curriculum Basics for a more detailed explanation.
For those of you who use the In Touch system to track grades I'm trying to make it easier for you to see what has been turned in and what is missing. A '/' means that they have turned it in and a '*' means it is missing. There are no points possible for each individual task since I need to wait until the completion of the unit to compute the unit grade. If you have any questions please let me know.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. You can either email me at connolly_caryn@salkeiz.k12.or.us or call me at 399-3261.
