In class today students received permission slip forms for Mark Bittman. The Mark Bittman trip is is Thursday, September 20. Be at Grant by 6:05 for a 6:20 departure.
Class began with a sharing of questions that students developed as homework.
After sharing questions Mr. Zartler explained how people learn using this diagram
The class discussed how reading the article "How Carrots Won the Trojan War" was difficult because many students did not have enough "file cabinets and file folders" in their brain to place the new information. To make filing the new information easier the class divided knowledge into the following categories
Next students were placed in groups to skim and scan the carrot essay for examples of knowledge from one of the fields of knowledge defined above. Finally each group shared their examples, and students added new knowledge to a chart included new facts and a label showing what area of knowledge that fact belonged to.
Next week the class will study some essays by Mark Bittman to learn what some of the major issues our culture has with food in his opinion.
