Beloved Students:
Wish I could be there with you on this fine February Friday!  Alas, Luca is sick:(

Please give Janae your love and respect and work on the following today...


1. Keagan's Survey:  Take 2!

2. Project Work:  Native American Studies
Follow the process on the board.  Research!  Read lit!  Document your findings.  Analyze.  Synthesize.  Annotate.  Learn.  Create.  You guys are projecteers!!

At some point today, please fill out this Google Form.  Charles and Ellen, I realize you already did this yesterday.  I added two questions if you don't mind going back in to answer them.  You can rewrite your answers to the first two if you have made further progress.

3.  Transition Text:  Chief Seattle's 1854 Speech 
(Janae has hard copy!)
As you know, we will be starting the Energy and Place project on Monday.  Please read this short reading, annotate it, and be ready to work with its content on Monday.  Notice the relationship with the Earth that is reflected in his words, and think about how that contrasts with Western Civilization's relationship.
4.  HONORS:  
I am SOOOOOO proud of you guys!  Exhibition last night was amazing!  I wish I were there to celebrate and appreciate you all individually.  Please update your DP with your Honors project and leave all pieces of it on my desk so that I can grade it.
Your DP update should include the usual:  a brief description, the project, imagery, and several paragraphs of reflection.


For your reflection:  Reflect in a way that feels meaningful and appropriate for you.  Think about your take-aways, your enduring understandings, your realizations about your learning and research process, your difficulties and successes, and/or whatever else feels authentic.
  • Send me a link to your DP when you finish.


HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND, EVERYBODY!!
