After a brief review of Monday's lesson on pp. 56 & 57, we read aloud/discussed/highlighted p. 58 in the Gallopade text and answered the questions concerning the map at the bottom of the page.  Students were able to turn in Turkey Review Sheets, Ottoman Empire Projects, and Africa Map examples to a table stationed at the front of the room.  

Tomorrow, we will only have our 3rd and 4th Core classes, due to the extended time needed for the Math Benchmark. Sweet Mrs. Covington will be our sub tomorrow because I will be in an all day meeting with the yearbook staff and regional specialist for Balfour.

Study notes.

We  enjoyed getting to know the most recent addition to our local 4-H family....Mrs. Ashley!!!  She did a wonderful job with continuing our lessons on cyber security!! She discussed the importance of considering what you will post before you post!! Optional ornament contest will be Friday the 13th if students are interested in participating.

Study notes.

WELCOME BACK!!!!!   I hope you all had a wonderful break!!!

Today in class we read through, highlighted and discussed pp. 56-57. I also gave out a map worksheet/study guide that won't be due until the end of the week.  Time was allotted for groups to finish the project from Friday. 

Tomorrow is 4-H. Looking forward to sweet Mrs. Lynne tomorrow.

Many blessings!!!

A list of ten possible projects were listed on the board for students to choose the one that most appeals to him/her.  Although a test was one of the options, most students were more interested in proving their level of mastery of the content by making a magazine cover or creating a power point presentation, etc.

Upon departure, each student was given a Turkey Review Sheet that is due on Wednesday, December 4th.

 

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving and a very restful break!!!

We read, highlighted, and discussed pages 48-55. Tomorrow, students will have a list of possible activities to complete to show proficiency which may NOT involve a quiz.

Time was allotted for completion of the Gallopade book pages 44, 46, and 47. The correct answers were discussed and projected so that students could correct any confusion.  A brief John Green World History video was shown and 

debriefed. 

Continue studying for the Weekly Quiz.

After a brief review, students were allowed to work in table groups to finish the list of ten vocabulary words by looking up definitions in the blue dictionary and complete pp. 44,46, 47 and the crossword on the back of the dictionary word sheet.

Make sure you are studying for the Weekly Quiz

After a review of the front side of the Islam study sheet, we read aloud and discussed pp. 45 &46. We also filled in the correct answers on the Study Guide so students would be confident they have the accurate information to begin studying for the Weekly Quiz.

 

After a brief review, students completed the short, ten question quiz. A lengthy discussion ensued about what it really means to answer a question in a complete sentence.  It is not just providing an answer with a subject and a predicate.  It DOES require a restating of the question, while also providing a sufficient answer.  Time was allocated for students to finish yesterday's assignment-four vocabulary words defined and completing questions 1-6 on p. 119 in complete sentences.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Thanks to Mr. Smith who did a wonderful job subbing for me.

I was at the Federal Court building in Chattanooga for a Teacher Law Seminar. It was fantastic!!!

The students read aloud pp.115-119 in the green textbook, defined four vocabulary words, and answered questions 1-6 on p. 119 in complete sentences.

Study for the quiz tomorrow.

We began by viewing two short DE video segments and taking notes (4 notes on the first and three notes on the second.  After a rich discussion, we reviewed yesterday's portion of the Comprehension Sheet and then continued work in table groups to complete the front of the sheet. 

Keep studying for the quiz on Friday.

After an altered schedule due to the two hour delay, we read aloud pages 42 & 43, discussing and highlighting as we go. Each class also began a comprehension sheet to use as a study guide.

Begin studying for this week's Weekly Quiz on Friday. 

We were thrilled to have sweet, Mrs. Lynne Middleton from 4-H with us.  She discussed cyber security with us and students learned a great deal about avoiding certain pitfalls when on the internet.
