Hello students and families! I am back from my leave. This week we will have a short mini-unit that asks the question “What is so unusual about the teenage brain?” We will focus on neuroscience research that explains the specific characteristics of the adolescent brain, as well as issues like test anxiety and the challenges of multitasking. This week we will also reexamine our HOWLs focuses of Respect, Responsibility and Perseverance and try to understand them better through the lens of teenage brain development.
Here are resources from class:
- Ms Lea’s Middle School Brain Presentation
- Direct link to Frontline Special: Inside The Teenage Brain
ASSIGNMENT:
- Find, clean, organize and/or get a new science binder by the end of this week
