My colleague sent me this email and copied it to the school staff. Hey, its always nice to be appreciated, yes?
I wanted to thank Mr. DeVona for hosting 7th
grade Social Studies classes late last week! He led a lesson on being a
skeptical reader
using a variety of materials! In a time when all sorts of information is
being thrown at students through the media, it is important for them to
be able to evaluate that information. Using Woods’ Midnight Ride of Paul Revere,
Mr. DeVona led a fascinating
discussion using a variety of sources including Google Earth and
scientific articles to help students to paint the picture of what that
night was like so long ago! Students were engaged the entire time and
the went on to do higher level thinking BECAUSE of
it! Thank you, Mr. DeVona for your knowledge, your thirst for learning
and the time and effort you spent pulling information together for us!
Thank you!
