Hey everyone,
When I proposed my final project I involved a few teachers from
Richford and Enosburg to give me ideas about the composition of a
survey, and it has grown out of proportion. It does not seem that
there are just a few areas that I can narrow this down to, each lesson
has it challenges in communication.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to narrow the focus of my
question, in regards to discovering confusing and complex terminology
in humanities without just comprising a huge-huge list?

Byron- (Son of Poseidon? Brother to Percy?- I have been reading Percy
Jackson and am quite convinced you have some kind of water-power
connection)
Did the Table Talks on Friday help with your focus? Do you think that
all the students need to know all the terms? Why not split them up so
students can "phone a friend" or know there is an "expert" in the
classroom. Let the students choose the "big ideas" based on the unit
theme.

Hello Byron,
It is difficult about trying to find big complex words to help
with this. The other challenge of course is that there is so much
history out there, you are going to need some more focus. Since you
are working with a history teacher in my district, I would suggest
looking at Rubicon Atlas. This is our district's online curriculum
mapping website. I would say you could then look at the material and
content for each unit and see what words you can pull out of them. We
use Bloom's Taxonomy and more to write them. You are going to need a
log in and password, so I would talk with your cooperating teacher!
Hope that helps!
