Humanities: Scavenging & Thinking

Today will be chock full o' goodness.

We'll start with a vocab activity.  Remember, we have a quiz on Thursday (Roots 1, 2 & 3) and a Word Map due.

This will in turn lead to a mightily powerful scavenger hunt.   Bring your canteens and your pith helmets.

What's a pith helmet?  Look down.  There it is.


Post scavenger hunt, we'll continue our work from yesterday involving student choice & voice and how the class balances student-centered learning with teacher-centered learning.




The info from Monday's class is below.




We'll also talk about ways to make Humanities even better based on the above.
