Monday and Tuesday, November 9-10, 2009

We integrated with Ms. Cody these past two days to participate in a simulation to prepare you for your social studies unit on India. After viewing a power point that introduces the Indian social caste system and taking notes, the class broke into groups and established rules for each caste for the classroom. Names were then drawn out of a hat to determine which caste each student was assigned. Each student was also assigned two students to observe during our two integrated periods this week. Your observations (and ours) will help determine each student's grade according to positive dharma and karma. The remainder of the period was spent working on a specific task in your caste group related to Falling Leaves. Click here to see the weekly calendar and instructions, and see me if you have any questions.

For homework, read to page 140 by Thursday.
