As we are getting closer to the midterm break and Halloween next Friday we come to the end of another busy week of teaching.
In Math, we completed our unit on 2D shapes by looking at constructions of different 2D shapes using a protractor and compass. The learners constructed side-angle-side, angle-side-angle and right-angled triangles using protractors, they also made use of a compass to create perpendicular bisectors, and bisecting angles.
In English, we started a new unit in English called ‘The Plantation.’ We analysed extracts from a short story (also called The Plantation) and answered a variety of questions. To help us get to grips with the main character and understand him, we did an activity called ‘conscience alley.’ this is where students debate a character’s decision.
In IMYC, History learners looked at the positive effect certain individuals had on the living conditions of workers in town during the industrial revolution and how this forced governments to act and enact laws that led to positive consequences for both the workers and the owners. In Science: the learners looked at the reactivity of metals and how this influences the way it is refined from their ore and how this will affect the price of metal and hence the suitability of certain metals for certain functions. During the Design, Technology and Innovation lessons learners looked at certain design features and how it appeals to a specific consumer group. The students also received their exit point assignment for design to start planning for the end of the unit. In PE students practiced goal scoring in football. In ICT students practiced doing calculations with spreadsheets.
That is all for this week, next week will be a busy week with students having to complete their main exit point for the unit and the specific exit point for Design. It is also the Halloween party on Friday, students are reminded to buy their admittance ticket for 10 000 won, and to get creative with their costumes.
