Memory cards and Timeline pictures were returned to everyone in class. We were all glad to see Matthew back with us even if it was hard for him to stay in his seat!!! He finally allowed us to help him. Thank you, Matthew. It was good having you back. We went over the 2 maps we had to complete for homework. Then we discussed Lesson 21.

Classroom assignments
Tuesday 25 October 2011
You guys had good questions about your test papers. I hope you have a better understanding of what I was looking for in your answers. For the most part, you guys are really doing well. Remember, one grade does not cause you to fail for the nine weeks. Now, if you have not been doing your best, then you may have something to worry about. But if you have been keeping up and getting pretty good grades then this one grade will not hurt you. This book is much harder than last year's book we used in History. You are really going to have to put forth a great deal of effort to make the grades you got last year.
The entire class did a super job with the "Who am I?" paper. Some of you even stumped the entire class! Way to go! I liked the fact that you didn't all choose Obama, which was the easist way to complete this assignment. Some of you really put the effort needed to do this assignment well. I thank you for that.
Friday is the last day of this nine weeks. If you are missing any work, you need to get it in Friday or that grade will remain a zero. Also, if you have not done your Wall of Fame assignment for Lessons 19-21, you need to get that done this week. Also, if you have not done your Memory Cards for Lessons 19-21, you need to get those done too. Check your lessons to see what you are supposed to be writing on these 2 assignments. These will go on the next nine weeks, but you don't want to get caught like what happened this nine weeks. You will not be getting extra days this nine weeks to complete assignments you have been given all along.
Your next assignments are:
Wednesday and Thursday 26-27 October 2011
1. "SomeWhere in Time" Pages 103-104.
2. Read from #1 to "Materials." We did this in class, but you need to read it again.
3. Using Map # 10: do A only. Use colored pencils. Also, label each country before you color. I need
to be able to read the country, also.
4. Page 104: #2: Read and follow directions for A-E. Don't forget to put your "Map Key" in your map
too. Use the maps in your Bible for reference if you do not have a historical atlas.
You may also use the Internet. Just type in Roman Empire.

Today we went in to the choir room and learned about several songs that have been attributed to St. Patrick. Mrs. Pat Gould, organist for The Parish Church of St. Helena, taught us the melody, rhythmn and words to these songs. The two main hymns were "I Bind Unto Myself " and "Christ Beside Me". We were joined in this lesson by Mrs. Mixon's class who are studying St. Patrick also. Mrs. Pat gave us some history on these hymns as well as the history of the melodies. Tell your parents what a "breastplate prayer" is and why it is so important. I think they will be amazed at your knowledge!!

Class Assignments

We worked on map work today in class. I will be posting these maps in the classroom if you would like to come by and see them. The "Wall of Fame" needs to be kept up daily. If you cannot keep up with it daily, at least do it weekly and at the lesson time it is presented. By the same token, you should be completing the "Memory Cards" as soon as the author gives you the instructions to do so. Both of these instructions occur at the end of at least 3 lessons, usually before a test. The cards are given as an assignment at the end of lessons usually. You need to be looking for these and completing them. I thought I had made this clear at the beginning of the year, but apparently I didn't. So I am trying to make it very clear now.
The assignments are:
Tuesday 18 October 2011
1. Get notebooks in order
2. Study for test Chapter 16-18
3. Pg. 90-91: #2: Do A-F. Remember to use your colored pencils so we can read the name of the countries in Africa.
NOTE:
"Wall of Fame" and "Memory Cards" will NOT be due until Tuesday October 24, 2011.

I gave back the tests we took last week. They were not very good at all. Even after curving them, the grades on some were still horrible. SO, on a separate sheet of paper, correct the questions you missed. USE YOUR BOOK!!! Bring both the test and your corrections to class on Friday for another grade. Rewrite the Chocolate paper correcting your mistakes. Bring all 3 papers to class on Friday: the one I wrote in orange all over, the typed or written in ink one as well as this one you are writing. Some of you didn't turn in the one I wrote all over. You need to find it and turn it in also. Make sure you file all the papers I gave back to you in your History notebook. Look in the activities pages of the lesson the papers are on and it should tell you where to file them. Otherwise, see where the paper is referring to and put it in that section. Have all of them filed by Friday. We reviewed lesson 16 in class today and read lesson 17. I gave each of you an excerpt on St. Augustine's Confessions today. You need to read it before you begin your paper on it. Think about what you are reading and ask yourself where you may have heard that before and how it relates to your life.
Your assignments are:

7 October 2011
OK. On this blog and the other one you have to click on the "2011" on the right side of the blog and it will show you this week and last Tuesday. I just did it on the other blog. I hope you and your parents can find the latest blogs! Actually, for this blog it will show you three (3) previous blogs! However, I am not promising anything!
Today in class we did Map Work. The first activity was to make a visual of the three cities that are known as Byzantium. We made a trifold seen on page 76. Next we worked on India and the countries that surround it, their capitals, major cities and rivers. I forgot to get you to make the map Key, so we will have to finish them on Tuesday! That was the reason I made you use all the different colors! We are going to spend some more time learning about this Byzntium empire because it is vitally important to the world's history! Today's lessons were lessons on following directions. One thing we learned is that if we are talking, it is very hard to pay attention to the directions and the teacher! Some of us got behind then didn't exactly do our activities correctly. These will be graded so from now on, you might want to pay a little more attention to your work!
Here are your assignments for Monday:
Tuesday 11 October 2011
1. Page 78: "What Did You Miss?" put the answers on a separate sheet of paper. (Yes, Sarah, you
may copy the page!)
2. Page 79: "What Do You Know?" put answers on a separate sheet of paper.
3. Read Lesson 16: "The Maya"
