Humanities: Habits of Mind Work Continues

Thursday, you have two options.

1) Completing the missing work  that demonstrates your understanding of the Of Mice & Men/Poverty Culture unit.

Or

2) Create a short film, play or comic strip that demonstrates your understanding of four of the sixteen habits of mind and where they have appeared in our work thus far this year.

This extends from the work we did on Tuesday and Wednesday, paraphrasing the Habits of Mind, identifying those we think most critical to understanding, and then doing some work around our strengths and weaknesses.

All of this is so we can best identify ways of developing our habits of mind moving forward and so Mr. Dunbar & I can develop a system of tracking and reporting your growth.

Here's some pics of the work we did.
