CW: groups will present notes on their Native American tribes return old work "mid-term" participation evaluation (4th period) essay prep/Frontier House
Hey carlisle. I feel bad about what happened today in class. dont know what to say. But are we still responsible for the 6 tribes in terms of ID's on tommorow test?
I think I know what happened today, no one really wanted to be the one that spoke for everyone when you kept asking if we were good to move on, that and the fact that we were trying to retain and write down all the info on the overhead. I'm sure most people were stressed and exhausted but we should have just gotten over it, didn't expect what happened though. Hope it doesn't happen again or this will turn into a long last semester.
I think the problem with our class is that the group presentations don't require the rest of the class to be totally engaged. The fact it was finals week only made it worse.
I'm a native South Carolinian and I attained my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of South Carolina. I taught fourth grade for two years in the Mississippi Delta and two years at an alternative high school in Western North Carolina. I have been at Tigard High School since the fall of 2003, where I teach U.S. History and Psychology.

You are responsible for the tribes that were presented. Nothing less and nothing more.

Adam,
Thanks for your comment. I'm going to change how group work is done for next semester.
