Welcome back to the Ranum Middle School blog!
This past week we started off by wrapping up the short film, "The Quiet", with some questions that had students thinking more critically about why they were feeling different emotions throughout the film. After that, we had Tutoring Tuesday so students could catch up with some of their work in other classes and if they were all caught up, I had some worksheets for them to complete to reinforce some math and literacy skills.
On Wednesday we learned about the 5 core emotions, different emotions that branch off of those 5 core ones, and learned some key skills to emotional intelligence (EQ). The rest of the week was dedicated to a group project on each one of the key skills (Social Awareness, Self Awareness, Relationship Management, Self Management). Students had to work together to do research on whichever skill they were assigned and had the choice to either create a poster or a Google Slideshow.
On Friday, we presented our projects and I was happy to see their research skills put to good use but they definitely need a little refresher on how to create a flowing slideshow.
Thanks for reading, have a great week!
