Eighth-grade students in Ms. Logerstedt’s social studies classes are currently diving into European History and the Age of Exploration. These photos capture preparations for an upcoming test on the influences and impacts of European exploration, along with another part of their daily routine: 📰 a student-led current events report.
Each classroom lesson begins with a student sharing the latest local and world news with their classmates. The report last week covered everything from the anticipated effects of El Niño to the latest developments in pop culture. Throughout the year, this routine gives students opportunities to research and present information, engage in meaningful discussions with their peers, and to deepen their understanding of the world around them.
