Welcome back!

In light of the holiday, I have decided to extend the homework--chapters 1-5 trackers due Wednesday!

Tonight, make sure you STUDY for a QUIZ on chapters 1-3 that will take place tomorrow!

Wednesday 11/25

Happy Thanksgiving! Your homework is to read chapters 3-5 of our novel Things Fall Apart and do the chapter tracking worksheets (with the summaries and questions on them.) Please email me with questions or concerns!

Thursday 11/19

I am still waiting on a lot of book slips! You will fall behind on your weekend homework if you do not have a book slip tomorrow.

Colonialism worksheet due tomorrow.

Wednesday 11/18

1) Book slip signed by parent and returned TOMORROW!

2) Also due tomorrow: test corrections on Bridge Week Assessment

Tuesday 11/17

Project presentations are tomorrow!

All parts of the project are due (works cited page, notes sheet, poster/powerpoint/skit/etc.).

For Thursday: Bridge Week Assessment test corrections worksheet.

Monday 11/16

Your only homework is to do what you need to do for your project presentation, which is Wednesday! Email me with questions or concerns. Remember, each group needs something to put in the presentation (poster, PowerPoint, skit, etc.)

Friday 11/13

Students should do any work their group has decided on for the weekend for their Africa background research project. The notes page is due Monday at the end of class and the presentations are Wednesday. For individual project concerns, please email me directly.

Have a safe and happy weekend!

Tuesday 11/10

5th block only: Write three predictions about unit 2. Also, finish any assessments you did not finish in class (unit 2 pre-assessment, bridge week post-assessment.) If I do not get these assessments, you will not get a grade.

All blocks: Begin any responsibilities you have for your group project.

Parents: Students will be working on a group project in class this week. It is about African culture. If they stay on task in class, they should not have to work on it at home, but they may have things they wish to or need to work on in conjunction with the project. I will contact you if your student or his/her group is not completing the project in class. By Monday, they will need to be done with a notes sheet about their assigned topic (ask your student what his/her topic is) and on Wednesday they will be presenting their projects to the class.

Enjoy your Veteran's Day. Thank any soldiers you know!

Monday 11/9

Sorry for the delay of this post. The homework due Tuesday applies to 1st and 2nd blocks only:
Based on your station work today, make 3 predictions about what we will be working on in Unit 2.

Thursday 11/5

Homework for tonight: Bridge Week Exit Assessment #2. You received this paper at the end of class today.

Remember tomorrow (Friday) is the cut-off for this week's late homework, which is only the behavior expectations for when a substitute is here.

Tuesday 11/3

Due tomorrow:
Write a list of expectations you should be meeting when there is a substitute teacher, in terms of behavior or work ethic. Then reflect on which of these expectations you met with yesterday's substitute.

This will be a graded assignment! Let's start off those 2nd quarter homework averages right!
