Today, I had my students use the vocabulary strategy that we learned at our last class meeting. It was super! When they had to compose a sentence that defined the word and tie it in to the primary source the meaning of the work really sunk in. A lot of them came up with sentences and then were really surprised when the sentence did not meet the requirements. I have the best of the best hanging up on the wall until our next vocabulary quiz. That is the great thing about our "Back to History " class, the activities are easy to use and practical. They also give the students an opportunity to be creative.
On another note, I was so intrigued by the WPA art that I went around Marysville and found some examples of WPA murals in our own community. I will bring the pictures to our next class. I tried to add them to the blog page but I am Blog challenged.
Have a great day!
