Jan. 25, 26 and 27

Wednesday: Half the class worked on a web-quest about Chinese New Year and the Year of the Dragon, while the other half worked on the "Chapter 7, Lesson 1, pp. 213-216" reading guide. Halfway through the class we switched. BOTH ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE CHECKED MONDAY FOR COMPLETION. PACKETS WILL BE DUE NEXT WEEK. Here is a list so far:

1. Engineering an Empire I
2. China/Asia Map
3. Engineering an Empire II
4. Chapter 7, Lesson 1 pp. 213-216
5. Chinese New Year 2012
6. Dynastic Cycle Fill Ins

Thursday: We discussed the Dyanstic Cycle of China. Students completed "fill-in-the-blanks" notes as they viewed my Powerpoint. Students then began creating an animation of the cycle which will be completed in either iMovie, or Imageready.

Friday: Students continued work on their animations. Song of the week - Hold On, I'm Coming by Sam and Dave.
