Quiet Movement

It was a pretty quiet day in room 19. We did a lot of testing today – it’s that time of the year. We more or less finished the OCR Unit 1 test today. The results will be posted on the gradebook a little later. It was a bit disappointing, but the first unit is often the weakest of the year.

We also did the Topic 4 math test today, and a few students will be finishing it tomorrow. I think the results will be good here. The students also worked on the Chapter 2 History test as well. I think these may be a big improvement over the first unit.

We did one fun activity at least. We discussed nonobjective art and how artists can use repeated shapes and lines in this kind of art to create a flowing sense of visual movement. We were particularly inspired by a work by Joan Miro here. The students tried their own works and many were really fine!

 

Homework:  (1) Do the “Dreams to Jobs” circle map. This is a handout that all the students should have. (2) Do the two math worksheets.
