Nov. 7 - Nov. 14

Sorry for the lack of recent posts! The PC tower at Zane crashed and that caused me to miss a day, and then I attended a training on another day last week..... excuses, excuses.

Nov. 7: Students began creating a powerpoint presentation using the paragraph that they had written. The powerpoint will be saved as a series of .jpg images that are then imported  into iMovie. The finished project will be an iMovie short that "plays" their powerpoint presentation.

November 8: I was at a CM language training and a substitute taught class. Students watched about 10 minutes of a PBS documentary titled "Inside Mecca" about the Hajj. Students also had class time to finish a reading guide (pp. 100-103).

November 9: The "Build a Ka'aba" assignment was due. I also collected packets. Students had time for their powerpoint/iMovie projects.

November 13: I returned the packets, and students worked to finish their powerpoint/iMovie projects.

November 14: Today we spoke about the 5 pillars of Islam. Students filled in a notes page and then had time to finish their powerpoint/iMovie project.
