Wednesday February 23rd Learning Log

What We Did

On Wednesday, we started off class by talking about our future schedule. Because of a problem at her house, Ms. Lees warned us about delays that could occur, so she wrote down a plan for which showed when all our homework was due and when we would work on other projects. After she showed us the plan, we were all told to take out our chapter question and as a class, we reviewed them together. We were told that we should have added extra things to our answers if we hadn't written them down already.

After the block ended and we came for second block, we were given the 'There Will Be Wolves' Ch.1-5 Test, which in my opinion was very easy. The test had ten questions and asked about the characters, along with the storyline/plot.

Finally, when the test was over and handed in, we were all told to finish our notes for our Medieval Diaries or, if we were finished, to work on our chapter 10 questions.

Why We Did It


I think we reviewed the chapter questions because we needed to improve our answers as a class and also make sure that we didn't miss anything. We could look back at it and see how the questions should've been answered. As for the test, I think tests are important, not only because they review previous work, but to also confirm that we're learning or, in this case, that we're actually reading the book.

The Middle Ages project is also very important because it is a huge learning experience for the students and also provides us with a lot of knowledge on what it was like to live back in the past, without any technology.

Connections/Reflections


Personally, this was not very fun for me to do. I do not like taking notes. But realizing that I was learning a lot from this project, I learned that this was very beneficial for my education. In the future, this knowledge in taking notes is essential for organization and also, taking tests, reviewing older work is something that is also very essential in the future... Not just for jobs, but also for when we participate in future educational activities.
