Today once we entered the classroom quietly, we were to sit down at the desk which of name was labeled at. The desks today were split up into three tables among the classroom.After finding our seats we were to quietly do the Do Now that was on the smartboard in our double entry journals. The do now consisted of 3 questions For the do now we first had to copy a sentence that stated “Growth and power are requisite conditions for the development of exemplary civilizations.” the sentence had five words that were highlighted blue, the next question for the do now was “what do the words mean?” and the last question, question number 3 was “explain why this statement is true or not” We were to copy these three questions on the left side of our DEJ's and answer them on the right side.
After we finished the Do Now we started to split up into 5 groups. We split up into 5 groups because of the 5 words from the sentence before being growth,power,requisite,development and exemplary. We then counted off by 5s, then split up into four groups. When we were settled into our groups we had a group assignment to do on the smart board. Our assignment was to use the do now sentence from before which was “Growth and power are requisite conditions for the development of exemplary civilizations.” and we had to discuss and define our assigned word in our own words, with supporting examples. our definition of the word had to relate to what we are learning and the sentence. Mrs.Dordoni gave each group about 5 minutes until it was time to do the next part of the assignment which was to write the definition to each groups word onto the board.
One person from each group was to go write their groups definition onto the board which took about 2 minutes. After each group finished writing their definitions we started to present and teach the definitions to the class, one student would stand up and explain the definition that their group came up with in front of the class, using supporting examples as well. every group presented then Mrs. Dordoni and Mrs. Park just explained what we were talking about a little more after. After that Mrs. dordoni went over the homework and this weeks schedule with the class. Those will be posted below and are on edmodo aswell. After she finished going over the homework we started to pack up and she dismissed us to our next class.
