Bellwork

I start off each class with a Bellwork- which in the past has been a review question or a journal response. So far this year, my Bellwork has been Election topics, and now that it is over I am going to do a Bellwork unit on American Indians. I have chosen to focus on the Navajo tribe and as part of this unit I am reading aloud Codetalkers by Joseph Bruchac.
I have created all my Bellwork slides on Smartboard- and have included video clips, music clips, podcasts, images, and literature focused questions.
