Today in ESOL we structured an “open conversation” across two classes at two different times by using Chatzy. The chat was designed to request student input for our 3rd quarter classes, and there were four dominant suggestions across the classes:
1. We will create a ‘Cooperative Classroom Calendar’ that will be used by both classes to map out Core assignments and quizzes so we can plan and prepare for them more effectively together.
2. We will view and respond to a movie that connects to themes in Humanities. So far we have the concept of watching “The Boy With The Striped Pajamas” that links to human rights and the holocaust.
3. We will address some of the history prior to WWII because some students are really curious about why and how it happened.
4. We will spend some of our SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) lessons in the library so we can browse/select from all of the resources there.
