Week of May 3

9th:   After a bit of delay, we finished the notes on Communism vs. Capitalism, and will be taking the test on Wednesday during the late start day.  The test will be a quick Multiple Choice test.  Honors students will receive their packets for Animal Farm and a book Tuesday, and  a reading schedule will be created on Thursday.  They will be required to read Animal Farm and answer the questions about it prior to Memorial Day weekend (May 28th).  An online test on Animal Farm will be given when they complete the book.  This will be the main way that Honors students will differentiate themselves from general ed students in the class this semester.

11th:  They are watching the film, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington.   Questions have been provided to complete during the film.  Afterwards, we will study for one day (probably at the end of the week), and then have a test on the Great Depression/New Deal and on the film.  The idea of the role of ethics and values in America from the film will be a focus as we study World War 2 and the Holocaust in the next  unit.
