Business as Usual
The library is a hub of student activity.
Global I
Freshmen continue to explore the Essential Question: Is Geography Destiny? They learned about strategic Boolean search strategies when researchers combine keywords with operators or modifiers, such as AND, NOT, and OR to get effective search results. Students also learned how to access the NCHS Library databases to find evidence to support their point of view and properly create a bibliography using database entries.
Students Wondered, Investigated, Synthesized, Expressed and Reflected (WISER Research Model). By using this model, students could frame their thinking about their research on the Essential Question. Students first read the articles: "The Geography of Poverty" by Geoffrey Sachs, and "No, a Nation's Geography is not its Destiny" by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson. Then students researched and close read articles through the lens of analyzing information to either support the claim that geography is destiny or that it is not. Students took notes to support their point of view and expressed their ideas in an essay. They reflected on the process in order to set goals for the next time they do research.
Keep on Reading NCHS!
Students have been checking out books that are hot picks or Vide books. These are books that have either won awards, been best sellers or come highly recommended by other students. Of course, students have access to a wide range of free choice reading.
Makerspace: Design Thinking Integration into Curriculum
Superstar students in Mr. Haag's astronomy class created 3D constellations to demonstrate that our perspective of constellations is specific to our location. If our location changes, then our "view" of the constellation will change also.
