- "Free Range Chicken" is a term that my dad came up with. It means that I do not have an activity scheduled, but I might jump in to a class for that day if the are doing something interesting and not really relevant to previous activities in that class. Or I might work on a Scratch project.
- My programming class is in a visual programming programming language called Processing. By visual, I mean that the programmer tells the computer to make lines and circles and other visual designs.
- In the one debate class I have attended so far, we ere read quotes that had reasoning that didn't make sense, which was called a fallacy. There were a list of classes of fallacies, and we had to say which fallacy the argument contained, and how we knew that. There will be classes where we argue a point, though.
- In the cooking class, we pick a recipe, then cook it.
- The math class on Monday is a one-on-one class that I scheduled. Other people have other one-on-one math classes at different times.
- The policy meetings on Wednesdays are meeting that everyone must attend, and are about whatever policy they deem important enough to devote a meeting to. the meeting can also be about a change in a policy.
- During the Book & Movie Club, we pick a book that has a movie that corresponds to it, then over a course of a couple weeks read the book. When we have finished reading the book, we watch the movie version of it.
- The Algebra class on Wednesday is a introduction class to algebra. In the class I attended, we graphed points to show the relationship of x and y. We also found the value of x in a basic algebra problem.

Perhaps you could work on your Spanish research project during one of your "free-range chicken" times.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Following up on the previous comment, I am interested in learning of the various possibilities for a Free Range Chicken. It might look like a menu. And also, do you get to play after school?
ReplyDeleteI am very interested in your learning program CSCL. This sounds like a really awesome way to learn. I wish our school was like this.
ReplyDeleteSpanish?
ReplyDelete¿Max, le gusta tocar el piano?
Do you know the word Tocar?
Hi Max,
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant. What book / movie are you reading / watching?
Regarding the policy meeting, a friend sent me this quote earlier today... "If you would truly wish to understand something, try to change it." Kurt Lewin
Have fun!

We are reading The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman.
