Today, I felt disappointed. Several kids did not have their paragraph ready to turn in; others had not followed the directions and needed to re-write their paper.
We have been working on this assignment for three days; actually six if one includes the days used to take notes in class. The paragraph was a very simple, basic assignment. The students needed to write only 11 sentences about either the Inca, Aztec, or Maya. In Sixth Grade, 11 sentences should be a walk in the park, especially at this time of the school year.
All the information one needed to write the paper has been available via the blog since last Friday. I demonstrated, in each class, how to access the information on the blog, so there should have been no question about the assignment requirements.
Today we watched a movie about Mexico, and I passed out the new "booklet" that will be used as we read the chapter. There is no homework.
