Weekly Objectives for 3/23/15 - 3/26/15

Overview - We are in the final week of preparation for our Ancient Civiliaztion Presentations.  Student groups are finalizing brochures, touching up Power Points, and printing off assessments.  The room is abuzz  It is amazing to watch them coordinate and collaborate. Just when you think that they might not pull it off, they prove you wrong.  We will be presenting our work upon return from Spring Break.

Monday - 3/23/15 - 
       Business as usual.  The groups are actively engaged and working away on their projects.  Today, in Monday Morning Meeting, the students met Tony Green, from McAdam's Cheese.  He presented on the factory and the interview process.  It really was an amazing chance for the kids to see a local success story.

Tuesday - 3/24/15 -
       The students continue to work toward their deadlines.  They are now beginning to tear into the clothing aspect of their presentations,  The groups are starting to understand that these civilizations are more than just dates in time.  They are getting to know who these people are from their culture, languages, battles, discoveries, and so forth.

Wednesday - 3/25/15 - 
       My room is a total disaster zone, but that is what we expect when completing PBL projects.  Out of chaos comes creativity and success!!  We only have two working days until Spring Break, and there is still quite a bit to accomplish.  Many groups will be staying until 3:15 to complete their work.
