Week of September 20

Thanks for checking the blog!  Starting this week, expect to see a quick summary once a week about what we are working on, and any upcoming due dates.   Please remember that due dates may change, so please check with me if there is any confusion.

9th

We will be working this week on our group project to create a government.  Students will be graded both as a group and as individuals for their contribution to the group.  Attendance each day is key, so please try to be here every day.  If students did not turn in their government vocabulary notecards, they must turn them in ASAP.  Late work in this case will be penalized!  Homework this week will mainly consist of working on the group assignment if a group falls behind and is unable to complete each day's task by the end of the period.  Additionally, notecards for the 15 Elements of Culture will be due on Tuesday, September 28th.  Students have already received that handout.

11th

If students did not turn in their government vocabulary notecards, they must turn them in ASAP.  Late work in this case will be penalized!  Students in 11th grade will finish discussing the Government Pre-Test on Monday, and then will participate in an abbreviated version of the simulation the 9th graders are doing, as described above.  No homework should be expected this week, other than reviewing the government notecards after they have been graded and returned sometime in the middle of the week.
