Today in periods 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 we did what is called a Gallery Walk. A Gallery Walk means that there are pieces of paper posted on the walls of the classroom and the students have to visit each "station" in order to answer those questions or to copy down information.
This Gallery Walk was a memory test: how much information have you retained, starting from the beginning of this year. There were ten stations and each station had questions about a different thing we have learned about this year. Students were instructed to visit each station, answer as many questions as they could by memory alone, and write down their answers.
Gallery Walks only work when the entire class is silently walking around the class... as if they were in an art gallery (thus the name of the activity). Students who were talking were told to sit down.
We will review the correct answers tomorrow.
