Third Week

I am very excited to introduce to my Geometry students the idea of script blogging in our classes. I am thinking of having a sign up sheet and allowing all students to choose which day they would prefer to blog about. I believe I am going to have this a manditory assignment to start out with and see where it goes. I am thinking of having that student script the days lesson and activities as well as explain to the class and everyone that reads the blog about at least one area in the real world that the lesson of the day would apply. I already talk about the essential questions/learning of that day and that would also need to be in the blog as well as the answer to that question. I think this might draw students into researching on their own and keeping an open mind about where the geometry I teach them does really apply in the outside world. My hopes are that this will give them another purpose for learning in my class.
