After reading 'El camión de Carlos, a story authored by Dr. Jacobson, her Spanish 7-8 classes practiced critical thinking skills as they
wrote questions to classmates and then responded, demonstrating their ability to
grasp the concepts of comparison, contrast, cause and effect, synthesis,
relevancy and varied types of evaluation.
Students also spent the week
refining their writing skills, developing a formal 5-paragraph essay based on 3
essential qualities of 'Leadership.'
