Flipped Classroom

This is a picture of the flipped classroom.  Students are analyzing pictures of the Gilded Age in the halls.  It's fun to get outside the classroom and into a new environment.

on their assignment!

Our class has been experiencing some changes in the past couple of weeks and I would like to show you some examples of how we have been changing the dynamic of the classroom.  Here are some pictures of our new table group set up with students working collaboratively on their homework.  Who knew that doing homework could actually be fun?

Welcome Back

Hello Everyone, welcome back to school.  I hope that you all had a great summer break and are ready to get back into the swing of things here at Esperanza.  Please take some time to navigate around the blog and try to get a grip on how things work.  There are page links that you can see at the top of the blog.  These will link you to the different units that we will be studying this year.  If you need copies of homework or classwork you will be able to find most of these assignments here.  As you look along the sides of the blog you will see some helpful information; including a link to my Google+ page, the course syllabus, our bell schedule and the EHS style guide to help you when writing in MLA format.  Will will also be watching the History Channel series Story of Us and you can find the episode links on the bottom left of the blog.  Please leave a reply to this post by clicking on the comments and leaving me a short message.  If you wish to subscribe to the blog you may do so or just reply anonymously, but please leave your first name and last initial.  I have some great stuff in store for you and hope that you will enjoy everything!  I hope that we have a memorable nine months.
