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.
