I love it when my students are motivated and I don’t have to babysit!

We started the day out by finishing our picture notes and trying on chain mail. Here are some of the best of the day!

Here is First Block!

He tried to attack Esmerelda, but I think he just her a hug instead. Vistas Vikings are huggers.

Then, we did a Gallery Walk. That means in YOUR group, ONE person stayed with the poster to teach the students from the other groups and the rest of the group wandered over to the OTHER groups to hear. There are a few reasons we did the Gallery Walk, even though a few people found it repetitive.

  1. It *is* repetitive – the more you hear it, the more likely you’ll remember it for the quiz.
  2. If you had a group member who didn’t do a very good job, this gives you opportunity to fill in the gaps from the other groups.

We did a Word Storm of important vocabulary words that will be used for an activity tomorrow (and you can use on the final exam). If you weren’t here for this, get the words from a buddy or copy them down from here.

Ahoy, mateys!

We started out the day trying on chain mail (while slackers finished their pictures). Once completed, you taught the rest of your group what your pictures meant (you will be taking a quiz tomorrow based on what they taught).

And finally, we reviewed MY Peanut Butter Jelly Time pictures! I told you that if I expect YOU to do the assignment, I’ve done it myself.

OK, Sorry about that last post. I was just too tired to update.

We started reading Beowulf – The Wrath of Grendel. Print Beowulf Text to OneNote and get the notes from a crew member who took good notes. Zully took good notes, Lorena took good notes, Brittany took good notes, and I’m pretty sure that in 3rd block, Victoria took good notes.

Here is a blurry picture of Grendel. GRRRR!

After that, we were given a bunch of quotes and we sorted them into FATE and FREE WILL.

Lastly, we tried on CHAIN MAIL! This is the type of armor that Beowulf wore. Here are some of my pirates wearing trying it on. 🙂

I’ll add more chain mail pics in the next posts.
