We're back after break and the kids seem to be in good moods and ready to get to work! We are starting a unit on the Great Depression and relating that to our current economic recession. We're starting with the "Ordeal by Cheque" assignment.
It's actually really neat. We read a story written in the form of checks. Through these checks we're able to figure out what is going on in the life of the characters. The story is set between the years of 1903 and 1931. Now the students are working on writing their own stories in the form of checks - very interesting!
I hope everyone had a wonderful break and I think 2010 will be a great year!
