We had an interesting discussion first period today about whether students would trade spots with one from 1908. The consensus right away was that they wanted to go to school in 1908. Some of the perks were that you got to have your own animals, and play on stilts. They even said they would be alright with getting up at 4:30 am to do all their morning chores before they went to school (remember that one parents when you need to wake them up early to tidy up their room)!
However, this afternoon students completed a Venn diagram comparing their school experience to that of a student from 1908. They then used this information to help them answer the question, "Would you rather be a student in a 1908 classroom or in a 2011 classroom?" Funny enough, each piece of writing explained why they wanted to be a student in a 2011 classroom!
