This week in ELA we are continuing to work on finding text evidence in literary and informational sources.  During social studies we finished going over the causes of WWII and began learning about the Holocaust.  

Reading -- A History of US, "A Final Solution"

skill practiced - citing evidence and identifying cause/effect

Term 5 Genius Hour

This term students in my Genius Hour are completing a film study that's focused on our current Unit of Inquiry, How the World Works.   Students are also working how to use different strategies when using videos for academic purposes.  Last week we began watching On the Way to School and students practiced taking Cornell notes.  

Yesterday, in honor of Women's History Month, we watched videos about Freida Kahlo, Marie Curie, and Maya Angelou.  Students created thought maps and then used their notes to write a short reflection about the woman of their choice.
