Eighth Grade - Levels of Questions





The eighth graders enjoyed an activity introducing levels of questions.  The highest levels (evaluation and synthesis) required them to combine their personal items to create a new product and to decide a market for their inventions.  There were some interesting products!  Next week they will be writing levels of questions for The Pearl and then discussing answers in a Socratic circle.

The students really helped each other with technical difficulties!

About Me

I am so happy to be a part of All Saints Catholic School again! I was born and raised in Surrey, England and started my teaching career there. Interestingly, my high school was called St. Anne's College! My husband and I emigrated in 1981 and became United States citizens in 1994. Our two daughters both attended All Saints and Bishop Kelley, and I was active in the All Saints P.T.O and served on the school board during that time. I taught English Language Arts, mainly at the pre-AP level, at Sequoyah and Childers middle schools from 2001-2014. My first love has always been literature, so I am delighted to be sharing that love with your children this year!
