This is my first time teaching it, so it is tough for me to say what needs to be improved outside of my own teaching. I would like to develop more projects that allows students to create something or experience a subject that's new to them (i.e. art unit).]]> 2021-01-04 19:46:02 UTC https://padlet.com/smontgomery11/o61gvsftq5uow0nm/wish/1053529409 kveldhoff https://padlet.com/smontgomery11/o61gvsftq5uow0nm/wish/1053536029 Students need to know that it is heavy with reading and that there is an expectation for students to synthesize different sources to form conclusions. ]]> 2021-01-04 19:48:16 UTC https://padlet.com/smontgomery11/o61gvsftq5uow0nm/wish/1053536029
