First week of school 2015 - 2016

Monday: Welcome back! Today we focused on team building and reviewed class expectations.  Get the disclosure document signed and/or make a comment on the class blog or email me by this FRIDAY.
WARM UP
Tuesday: Students took citizenship sample test 1 and/or self test 2 to see what they know about US civics and history.  We will take these tests again at the end of the year to see how we have grown.

WARM UP
Wednesday - Friday: Students complete a study of the Nacirema culture as an introduction to our unit on Pre-Colonialism and the First Americans.  Questions to think about: how does our cultural worldview influence and inform our perception of people from other cultures? How can we be aware of and change our assumptions?  How can we benefit from understanding our own cultural worldview and how it affects our relationships with other cultures?
