This blog contains information for Mrs. Pluta's classes at the Lorain County JVS. It is hoped that Our Classroom Connection will keep students engaged in class discussion outside the school day.

New Research Assignments

Last quarter, Psychology students selected, read, summarized, and evaluated four articles from Psychology Today online.  This quarter, they have chosen a subject to research.  Students will compile a fact sheet, create a tri-fold board, and participate in a pscyhology fair.  We will be working on this assignment throughout the quarter.  Please check my JVS Website for up-to-date information.

For my American Civics classes, students researched the government of a different country.  They had the option of preparing a paper or sharing a presentation.  This quarter, they are reading the biography of a person that has had an influence on America.  They will keep a journal while reading and then write a paper AND share a presentation.  This is a joint project with Mrs. Bilczo's English classes and Mrs. Eland's American Civics classes.  There is more information at my JVS Website.
