Reflection from prior lesson:
● Previously, this class has been working on their research for their upcoming Wax
Museum Presentation that will take place in May. Before beginning their Wax
Museum research, they were working on an interactive South Dakota Road Trip,
found at https://www.sdroadtrip.org/. This website allows students to learn more
about various cities in South Dakota from their own classrooms. Since our
research part of the Wax Museum is now finished, we will begin using this website
once again to continue our virtual road trip. This week’s South Dakota city is
Sisseton, and the students will learn more about how this town came to be and
some additional information describing the area. The section that I will be teaching
today has 27 students. Although it is a rather large class, this group does a good
job of staying on task and paying attention during instruction time. Many are eager
to answer questions when asked and are willing to follow along with the readings.
