Students In Mrs. Monica Myers' 11th grade English class at BJSHS enjoyed a fun learning activity this week as they took part in 'speed dating.'
According to Mrs. Myers, this strategy can be used as an anticipatory set, or reviewing at the end of a class. Students are sharing and questioning other students to increase their understanding of learning outcomes or processes. Students had questions or prompts about the book Tuesdays with Morrie. They had one minute to discuss or answer questions before moving to the next seat. This is a great way to get students engaged and moving.
Photos include:
1 - Austin Hudson is questioning Haile Arnold.
2 - Michael Freeman's response to Savannah Smith's answer.
3 - German exchange student Niklaus discusses the book with Claudia Auguilar.
A big thank you to Eastern Indiana Works for helping to organize all the volunteers who came out to support the BJSHS College and Career Day. According to Assistant Principal Karen Mealy, the event was aimed at students in grades 8-12. She said there were 20 different employers and colleges visiting today.
What a great opportunity for our students!
