February 12 - 15

Last week the students showcased their learning of the Columbian Exchange by sharing their final product if they wanted to.  Some of the students chose to debate if the Columbian Exchange was positive or negative.  After completing research each side was ready to debate.  The respectfully disagreeing among the students was phenomenal and each side was prepared, listened to the points and were able to have a just outstanding debate.  The rest of the students took notes to support their vote of either positive or negative. 
 
This week we will focus on the Native American culture by creating a flip book.  Next the students will choose a Native American region, research the elements of culture and then create a Native American Mural.
