Today, we talked about the word community as an introduction to class. A community is a a group of people (or a population) who live in the same area and share a common interest. We talked about what makes a community, how communities have changed over time, and we even described our own communities. Although almost everyone had a slightly different definition, in the end they were all the same.
We also discussed the design of the class. There will be vocabulary exercises which I created to help student understand new terms as opposed to memorizing and forgetting after a test. We will also have reading activities which will be done using the BDA reading strategy (before, during, and after reading) and projects along the way.
The words we discussed today were: history, pre-history, and archeologist. All students should understand the meaning of those three words at this point.

I think it's amazing how community's have changed overtime.
