Students were able to review briefly before completing Weekly Quiz #1 (Second Nine Weeks). After completing the twenty-five questions, students went to the Clever site on the Chromebooks and read an article about The Santa Maria on Newsela.  After reading it on two different reading levels, they completed a four question quiz. 

Report cards, I-Ready, Star, and TN Ready test results were all given out at the end of the day to our 4th Period/Core 1 Class.

Have a great weekend!!!

We viewed the DE History Kids presentation on Christopher Columbus, taking four checkpoint quizzes using response cards. With the few remaining minutes, students were allowed to play the review game again.

Homework=Study your Christopher Columbus Notes for the Weekly Quiz tomorrow.

Report Cards will go home tomorrow.  

Students were given their Christopher Columbus Investigation Sheets back and the answers to each of the ten items were discussed, giving each person a chance to confirm the accuracy of each item. A new board game was introduced and explained. Time was allotted to play through the twenty questions that are identical to the questions on Friday's quiz.

Please be sure to study Columbus notes for Friday's quiz.  

After viewing another brief Discovery Education video clip over Facts vs. Fiction about Christopher Columbus, students who had not finished yesterday were able to finalize answers to the Investigation Sheet and turn it in, along with the Great Wall of China sheet from the Friday before Fall Break.  Students who had already finished were able to create a visual representation of The Columbian Exchange from p. 338 in the green textbook.

Have a wonderful evening.
