Well, we are underway in 8th grade social studies. Classes started by looking into the Multiple Intelligences, or the different ways we learn. We took a survey to show us our strengths and weaknesses in learning.
We have also taken a look at the different levels of critical thinking. Taking after B. Bloom's taxonomy on thinking we created lighthouses with the different levels with the understanding that the higher up on the lighthouse the better you can see, just like at the higher levels of thinking the better you can understand. Ask to see your student's lighthouse and ask him/her to explain it.
Next we will be moving into Economics!
