Yesterday, students were working with the UNI student teacher Nate Kellogg. He put students into groups by birthday and students read and answered questions about an article on WWII Code Talkers. Students also viewed a video about real code talkers and their experience in the war.
Today, students will be completing their article and beginning to examine the Navajo code. Students will have the opportunity to translate codes from Navajo to English. Students worked with the Navajo code alphabet and Navajo code word for everything from advance to zone. It is Mr. Kellogg's last day working with the students.
Attention!
The Japanese packet must be completed by Monday, March 31st at the beginning of class.
Monday - Students will be studying their packets and using computers to research more information on Japanese culture, geography, people, food, code talkers, clothing, and writing. Students can also do their own research on Japan to prepare. Students will use the information they collect to answer questions during a graded Socratic Seminar.
A Socratic Seminar is a scholarly discussion of an essential
question in which student opinions are shared, proven, refuted, and
refined through dialogue with other students.
Here is an example:
