What we Did in our COC IEP 200 Class on Thursday, May 2nd

In Class

1. News Hour: Read the “King Richard I’s Heart Held Daisies” News for You article and completed the Teacher’s Guide exercise. We then had a fun discussion about what each student would like to have done to their bodies after they die: ranged from cremation to donating the organs to others.
