Students have finished their study on the four schools of thought, and have practiced their understanding through the presentation and interpretation of tableaux today. Tomorrow, students will participate in Socratic discussions to deepen their understanding. Please remember that a complete and thorough answer will include much detail that connects what you see to as many characteristics of the school of thought as possible.
Students were given the second opportunity to improve on their government test results because many were not used to writing answers with appropriate details. This time, the only people who will have the opportunity to retake will be the students who have an overall grade of D or below.
No other work has been assigned, in order to prepare for the test on Monday. Students should reread the information on the blog, review the characteristics of each school of thought, identify the practice quotes with detailed supporting information, and practice writing their own quotations based upon characteristics of the various schools of thought.
Scoring has been explained on the previous blog entry. There will be 8 quotes to be identified on the test. Students will be rewriting their notes on Thursday and Friday, and they will be able to use these notes during the test on Monday.
