Sometimes, success is something that is elemental. Educators study problems, and examine so much in way of assessing why configurations exist the way they do. We come up with different concepts such as Responses to Intervention, subcategories, learning approaches, and portions of metacognition. While all of these are really important, I think that this week, a fundamental truth can help to underscore all success in what lies ahead for both sets of 7.8/3 Social Studies students this week:
Do Homework.
It has almost become outdated to make such a suggestion. Yet, it is really valid here. As work becomes more focused and harnessed as we reach the end of the trimester, students have homework on a nightly basis. It might go very far for students to do well if they complete the assignments on a nightly basis. For seventh graders, keeping pace with their nightly reading of one section of reading in Chapter 6 a night as well as a set of the Check Your Progress questions to go along with it will help them on the upcoming chapter 6 exam. For eighth graders, nightly composition of their identifications would help them submit them on time by Tuesday. I think that being able to encourage your students to budget their time well and make sure that they are making progress through incrementalism is critically important.
In the end, sometimes the best solution is the most obvious one. This might be one of those instances.
Happy hunting as the first trimester comes to a close.

The poem "We Wear the Mask" is a poem I think about America and how American people sometimes do things that they know is not right. The stories makes many references too the person not wanting to do something, but the mask covers it up.

Pete Rose is a clear Hall Of Fame inductee, he had 17 all star game appearances, led his team to 3 world series victories, and holds a record for most career hits. http://www.peterose.com/Records.aspx this link will show you all the things he has records for. He was not a home run guy like lets say Reggie Jackson who hit 500 plus homeruns but he a lot more hits and a better batting average. Reggie got to play on well made teams, Pete started up the whole Reds franchise.

The amendment song would never I say be used because it is really not catchy. After you listen to it once you kind of never wanna hear something like that for a long time.

ReplyDeleteThe saying "Workers of the world, unite" is basically meaning that workers are just as important as bosses and they should speak for themselves.
I think that "We wear the mask" by Paul Dumbar is about how people are not as smart as they think they are, for they are blinded by their arrogance.

"Workers of the world, unite!" means that the workers were teaming up basically to get what they deserve. Karl Marx says that "you have nothing to lose but your chains" and he is basically saying "come back to reality guys!"

The tea party movement has to do with Adams Smith because when they threw the tea overboard, this was the belief of Self Interest, or what they wanted to do. Karl Marx would have said that this wouldn't have done anything. This is not solving the problem they are facing, just taking their anger out on the British.
