Review Detail
5.0 2 0.5
We used Discover the Ancient World in a coop setting. We had students from 7-12 grade in the class. Using TRISMS in a coop setting is great as you can have class discussions, presentations, games, different teaching styles presented ( we took turns teaching) , testing practice, group cooperation, sharing movies, guest speakers, and field trips. Coop was great as it helped keep us on track with our studies and help all of us stay accountable. They wouldn't want to go to class with out their work done.
One of my favorite projects was semester project week. Each student selected a topic from their Discover the Ancient World topics and presented it to the class along with a 10 page research paper. We had a student video and everyone gave a critique of others presentations, kinda like a job review. We made the critique forms and this was an opportunity on how to give constructive feedback in a kind way. Good people skills training and preparation for being a leader.
