« RUBRICS FOR PROJECT | Main | Update on Grades/Projects: keynote and powerpoint »

We have been slowly working through the presentations on Japan. We should be finished on Monday. Students have been given mini assignments along the way to supplement their understanding of the Japanese history and culture. The Tanka's will be graded this weekend along with 3 other assignments and grades will be posted shortly. Doing a technology project requires more class time then usual and therefore it is difficult to obtain daily grades.
Students had an assignment Thurs. night to write a short essay on "What would you have done?" making the decision on using the atomic bomb or not. They were given primary source documents on Truman's Decision, Gen. Tibbets commentary on board the Enola Gay, a Survivor's Story, and and facts on the effects of the bomb on Japan . Final copy either cursive or typed due Fri. or at the latest Mon.
Have a great weekend!
