Immersed into Immersions...

Today in class, we just totally immersed our selves in to the Week 12 & 13 Immersion; the fight for Liberty. Actually, before we immersed our selves into immersion, Mr. Armstrong made a quick reminder about taking notes, since he’s going somewhere from this Friday. The reminder was like the following;
1. Notes have to be HANDWRITTEN
2. Always document your source. (i.e. Holt Social Studies, ABC CLIO, etc)
3. Focus on Key Terms & Main Ideas.
4. With freedom & responsibility
Also, Mr. Armstrong told us to behave well in class while the substitute teacher is there. He said that we have been very independent for 4 month, which means that we’ve been feeding ourselves for such a long time, and we shouldn’t have a problem while he’s gone. Our 8th grade is going to have a quiz while he’s gone, but if we are faithful writing our notes, we shall have no problems… well maybe a quite few, but we can still e-mail Mr. Armstrong, so it doesn’t really matter. Mr. Armstrong assigned seats for everyone, so that we would have no problem with it. Then, we started to immerse ourselves into Week 12&13 Immersion. Our immersion was mostly about the revolutionary war, and we’re studying the point where the Peace with British ended. Now it’s “’You kill me, or I kill you’– by Mr. Armstrong”. It was quite interesting how they fought each other. After we took notes about 30 minutes, Mr. Armstrong gave us 3minute break, and then we started to immerse our selves into the immersion. Today, in our class, there was such fabulous news. Our dear friend Grace left the comment for us at our class scribe. It was just wonderful how we can contact with her even if she’s in Canada. I miss Grace so much… Today, our assignment was to do immersion, it’s not like due till some day, but since there’s a quiz next Tuesday, we have to get prepared. Overall, everyone should be applauded, because our whole class worked so hard taking notes.
