THE STUDENTS OF BLOCK ONE, ROOM 217, on September 26, 2011, did agree and decide that their goal was to produce an AMICABLE CLASSROOM, and that to achieve that goal

Teachers should be humanized, not talking heads. Teachers should meet students where they are by comparing past history to more recent history (2000s). Everyone should talk to each other and be able to get their point across. Teachers should be people you can chill with. Teachers should present the good and bad of history with objectivity.

The following modifications would, in their opinion, help achieve these goals:

More effective communication, especially through email No requirement for printing at home Greater tech penetration, including some use of backchannelling and Wikis Short answer assessments, for validity Projects based on their own research Multiple choice questions that build confidence <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A class arrangment that lets them “sit closer” together <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 18px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">More discussion and debate centered on their true viewpoints.
