Kites yesterday. Caravels today! CCHS students built ships to help them apply critical thinking skills to a writing prompt. Competition is motivation. Engagement builds relationships. @edallas7@CCHS_AP@geogurucchs@JEFCOED
New experiences at CCHS! Many students flew kites for the first time today and made connections about the power of the wind and world history. Predict. Connect. Conclude. #tradewinds#exploration@geogurucchs@CCHS_AP@edallas7
Last day of a great 4 day training with dedicated CCHS people! Can’t wait to take A+ College Ready materials and strategies back into our classrooms. @CCHS_AP@geogurucchs@_andrewreid@JEFCOED

World History students used Canva to create the back of the book for our graphic novel! They had to include a summary, review on the purpose, an opinionated review, and a 1-5 star rating! @CCHS_Principal @geogurucchs@shannongpetty@CCHS_AP
1st block World History students read to determine if Napoleon ruled his empire as a hero or tyrant. Once they determined that, students created clay models to depict him as such.
World history students created interactive radios! These played audio recordings of commercials for new inventions from the Industrial Revolution! What a fun twist on regular research and presentations. @CCHS_Principal @CCHS_AP@JEFCOED

9th graders had a great time putting together a timeline to help them review for exams. Each student was responsible for 1 or 2 events. Chronological problem solving at its finest. @CCHS_AP @CCHS_Principal
