Today we went over the Mapping Test and updated assignment sheets. The curve was set as a 44, which means the "magic number" is 30 for this test. You have 1 week to re-take the test.
After the test we did our Gallery Walk of the Timeline Project. Students got a chance to see all of the timelines their classmates produced. It was a fierce competition but each class produced a Gold, Silver and Bronze winner. Now its time to see the overall winner of all classes.
Once the Gallery walk was finished we watched Carol Dweck's short video about open mindset vs closed mindset. Too many students have fixed mindsets regarding their abilities and tend to stop and throw up their hands when they encounter difficulties rather than persevering.

The remainder of the period was spent starting the Columbian Exchange mapping activity.
