New month, new opportunities for growth! This November has a lot of short weeks, so it is going to fly by. We hope this new quarter is an exciting and productive one.
|
Check out what sophomores are doing in US History and Math!
|
In US History we just finished our summative assignment for unit 1, writing indictments for Christopher Columbus for the crime of genocide against the Taino Indians in Puerto Rico. In that unit, students were working on skills related to vocabulary and supporting strong arguments with evidence. This week we're moving on to learning about slavery in Puerto Rico and the Carribean. We'll be working on the skill of assessing the reliability of a source and looking at how different textbooks describe slavery. Students have really impressed me so far with their ability to analyze the reliability of a social media post. I'm looking forward to building on that knowledge! - Mr. KZ

In Integrated Math 2, students are wrapping up Unit 1 with solving linear equations. This particular skill is extremely important to develop skills in because it will be used nearly every day moving forward as we build in Geometry concepts. Students will begin their Unit 1 Summative Assessment, which is a real-world problem where students will act as a land contractor to create a budget proposal for their client. Students will use skills such as unit conversions and area/perimeter to identify the cost of different structures. All throughout Unit 1, students have been practicing IB Criterion A (Knowing and Understanding) and C (Communicating), and will be assessed using these rubrics one last time for their Summative. After the Summative, students will begin to merge the skills of Algebra and Geometry to study and understand their connection. - Mr. Kuch
