On Thursday I exposed my 8th graders to their final unit's project with a WQ . I explained - again - what we are going to do and how it is going to be done, in our regular classroom. Then, we went to the computers classroom where I already wrote the URL and the instructions on the board. Part of the instructions was that - as Nada suggested - they need to call me after they enter each page and task so that I can grade them accordingly. Unfortunately, most of them opened facebook (and games), although I forbade it and in spite of the fact that it cost them points.
I must admit I am disapointed and frustrated.
The "lights in the tunnel" are my 10th graders who, in spite of their difficulties, are showing interest and a will to learn.
