Remember that tomorrow there is a quiz on the vocabulary and something like the article. You will be turning in your vocab foldable and your article.

QUIZ ON THURSDAY!
Today we did the vocab zip around again. The class with the quickest time will get bonus points on their quiz on Thursday.
We also read this case study. Richard Crafts Case Study
Students were asked to identify different types of physical evidence and circumstantial evidence in the case. They were also asked to determine whether it was a criminal trial or civil trial, and a felony or misdemeanor.
Just a reminder that we will be having a quiz on Thursday. Part of it will be vocabulary matching, like in your foldable. The foldable will also be due on this day.
Today in class we talked about the lunar eclipse from last night, did a vocabulary zip around activity, and completed an activity about observation.
