Homework for the week of 9/19-9/26

Hi all you smartypants!

Here is the scoop on this week's work:

We are in week 5 of the Fall Term, that means that the progress period closes on Friday! All Grade 8's received English grade checks on the 19th and will get their History checks on Monday barring any unforeseen calamities.

All Grade 7's received grade checks in History on the 19th. Students have until Friday the 26th to make up or improve upon any grades that they feel are not up to snuff. After this Friday I will start taking points off for late work, but since my overarching aim is for the students to learn as much as possible I will always allow them to improve upon poor scores or efforts and to make up work that they chose not to do or forgot about.


Grade 8's
This week we will be analyzing the writing in our book report books as well as looking at our own writing in Hot Sheet A3&4 or P2 (depending on your class). We will be writing in class as well as working on our book reports as a class. We will also finish our look at the 13 Colonies, create our test, study for our test, and take our test (on Friday).

Grade 8 homework this week:
Make up or fix past work
Reading log- be sure to read every day this week, and read MULTIPLE types of text
College worksheet with the Multiple Intelligences

For your reference I will post the Multiple Intelligences onto the 8th grade materials tab this weekend.


Grade 7's:
This week we are going to finish our brief look at the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of the Byzantine Empire. We will be looking at law and culture. We will be creating questions for our test at midweek and we will take our test on Friday. We will also be putting the final touches onto our HIN Cover Pages for the Byzantine Empire with a timeline of important events. This should be the only thing left to do on your cover pages at this point. We will be creating timelines on Wednesday and Thursday in class as we wrap up this unit of study.

Grade 7 homework:
There is no homework for the history class.

We will be grading Chapter 2, Section 1 questions on Monday, and Chapter 2, Section 2 assessment questions on Tuesday. so make sure that they are ready to go. We will also have another go 'round at power points on Monday first thing!

Have a great weekend!
