Hello!
This past week we learned a lot about the brain. Students started off by learning some vocabulary about different parts of the brain. Words such as amygdala, hippocampus, limbic system, prefrontal cortex were all discussed.
Students had some time to do individual research where they looked up what makes the teenage brain different than an adult brain and why teenagers react to things the way they do sometimes. They then had the option to further elaborate on what they learned and surprisingly most students chose the paragraph option.
It was a lot of information in a short period of time but the students persevered and have a little better understanding of how their brain works, why it responds the way it does sometimes and where different parts of the brain are located.
Have a great week!
