What's Been Going On?

It's been a couple of weeks since our last session. Won't you let us know how things have been progressing/regressing for you in this time? Any major breakthroughs or attempts? What about students? How have they been responding to the activities going on in your classroom lately?

Please post a brief comment.

We watched the first half of "Letter to the President" in Mr. ward's 4th and 5th period class. Mr. Ward and I formulated questions to ask students based on the video, and I took the opportunity to pause the video and pose clarifying questions. Student's opened up to a lively discussion of 'the real' issues affecting their community: drugs, fake rappers, national economic policy, prison industrial complex, etc. So how to we assess the math ability of the students again?
