Progress Report # 7

On Thursday we are having a mock teen trial with members of some of the other capstone groups. It's going to be really awesome, I'll report back about how it went and maybe post some picks that were taken during the trial. I'll see what ends up working out the best.

There's a lot of planning going on right now. On Thursday we have to pick a topic for our how to video, where we teach people how to do something from our time period. We also have to agree on a modern problem that we can use in a video that ties things that happened in the past to what is happening now, and figures out how we can use past solutions to help remedy those problems.

We have a lot of work going on right now since the whole project is due April 23rd. Keep reading to see what we do next!

Progress Report # 6

Right now our capstone group is planning our seminar lesson, and we are planning on having a mock teen court trial, because that is one of the things we read about in our seminar. We also read about how the court is publicized, and how it was an important part of the Declaration of Independence.

Other than that we are just finishing up research and preparing ourselves for the next part of the project. Keep reading to see what happens next!

Poll

Hey, just wanted to let you know I posted a poll. Be sure to take it!

Don't Forget

Not all of my posts are pictured on my page. Don't forget that if you want to see some of the older things I've posted, like information about Toussaint Louverture or a cool video about Simón Bolívar, there is a link you can use at the bottom of the page. Keep reading!

Progress Report # 5

Now that our individual research is done our group is more focused on bringing our project together as a whole. I'm happy with the way our group is working together, I think we're good at communicating, and we make sure everybody is staying on top of their work so that no one gets behind. One of our tasks this week was to read and article and give a lesson to our class, and we're working on how to do that. We've come up with some cool ideas for how to do that; keep reading to see what we end up deciding.
