WEEKLY CLASS REPORT
House of Uhuru, 10-5-10


OPENING COMMENTS:
This week’s class over all was again energized and engaging, students seemed to look forward to the computer discovery test and were well prepared.

ATTENDANCE:
10 attended class. We were told that Charlene hurt her foot, but did send in another resident from the center to let us know that and ask if she could make up the test on Saturday.


INTRODUCTIONS OR OVERVIEW:
Julian took roll call. We discussed what we would be going over in the class. There were a lot of questions regarding the papers.


1ST TOPIC COVERED:
Jane reviewed materials discussed in module 2, discussing a bit more on cutting and pasting.

2ND TOPIC COVERED:
We passed out the tests. As the students were done, we collected them. Juliane wrote them all on the board, and we had all the students come up and match them all before we passed them back. Half of the students got 100%.

LAB TIME:
In Lab Time Juliane wrote out a cover page on the board as I went around the room and showed the students how to set this up in word, and begin typing their papers in their computers. The remaining of lab time, Juliane and I both worked with students on their papers.


FINAL NOTES:
In tonight’s class, the students were very engaging. They really enjoyed the way we went over the tests on the board together as a group. We had teams, the boys against the girls (the girls won), they really seem to understand the discovery terms, not just memorizing them, but also understanding what they mean. Most of the papers are just about completed; they also seem to understand how to work the tools on Word in order to complete their papers. The ones who understand it more are very helpful and supportive to the ones who are more challenged. (I love seeing that).
