H Block   Socials 10

 

Students continued on their physiographic regions assignments. Today students worked using their textbooks and booklets that I handed out. Effort level was very poor today for many students...I hope that changes for next class or I will have to make changes!

G Block  Socials 9

Had a discussion on witches....how they were persecuted in 17C England. We looked at who theses witches were and how they were punished. This led to a bigger discussion on groups of people who are persecuted in today's society.

We looked at a couple of interesting videos 

Next we looked at Divine Rights of Kings. What it meant and how it was applied in England. Students were then asked to take the role of a king and make or change any law that they wanted. An explanation was needed to justify the changes!
