Merry Christmas from ALC!!!

The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear! 

We had fun in ALC today, singing along to the Best Christmas Songs of ALL Time (courtesy of Songza!), crunching candy-canes, and working hard on the final stage of our Fabrication Phase. With 6 classes to go after Christmas, we are working hard, checking things off our ALC to do list! 

We did take about 20 minutes of the first block to discuss what a good presentation looks like. With Anne Harvey coming for our first class back in January, we wanted to be sure we were prepared to really focus on her presentation. We came up with 3 categories of presentation skills and decided on a 4 point rubric to grade both Anne, and our classmates when we complete our trial "Challenge Fair" on January 15th. I began working on developing the Rubric based on what the students came up with during our discussion and will post it as soon as it is done! 

Here is the rubric... We will be using it to score Anne's presentation and then making any adjustments that are needed afterwards. 

In the meantime, Merry Christmas from ELJHS' ALC Option!!!
