The week you have all been worried about is finally at an end. For better or worse, you have finished testing for the near future. Classes are returning to normal and we need you all to adjust yourself accordingly.
Time is running out. Do not put off until tomorrow what you could do today. Annotated Bibliography!
Test Next Week !!! Test on chapters 3 and 4 next week either Wed. or Thurs.
With Spring Break behind us we have only 12 weeks left in the school year.
Time is running out fast and you do not want that to catch you by surprise.
We have much to do and little time to do it in.
Do not forget that you should be working on your annotated bibliography, you should have at least 70% of your sources found at this point and should have already began reading them.
Below is a link to a guide for creating an annotated bibliography. If you are working on it at home and get stuck, see if this guide can get you moving on the assignment again.
Part One of the Framers Oral Presentation Project is due today during class.
You will go over your work with me and I will use the rubric to score your work and explain your score.
We will then talk about how you can turn your web into your final oral presentation.
Remember: This is a very large summative score, do not procrastinate or blow it off!
Part II due Thursday in class (First Thing, Not At The END!)
We have moved on from chapter one and are forging ahead with chapter two. Our focus is the birth of the United States Government with a special emphasis on the documents that created this great nation!
Snow Day Thursday!! First and hopefully last of the year.
If you have any missing work, please get it done over the weekend.
Test is early next week.
If all students complete the review activity given on Friday, then we can play a review game before the test. If not, then we will test without the game.
Remember to earn EC for completing current events reports.
Welcome back….
We will be done with Chapter One by the end of the week. Prepare for a test on Ch. 1 early next week. Monday or Tuesday unless we get delayed this week.
Catch up on reading in your spare time.
Infographic on the 5 Elements of a Democracy due 2-17-16
We have a small break in the normal school schedule that will result in the students having no school Friday 2/12/16 and Monday 2/15/16.
We will return back to the normal schedule on 2/16/16
A new semester, new subject, mostly the same students, using the same ILEARN and IBLOG pages.
Despite having changed from Economics to Government, very little else has changed in the class.
We are still in Chapter One, Unit One of our Textbook!
Syllabus can be found on my Ilearn page and any parent can access that page by using your students log on information.
