Period 1 and 2We turned in our final Memoirs, and spent time reading and commenting on each other's essays. Thanks Aubree and Maria for bringing cookies!
We completed Chapter 5.5 in Social Studies, and talked about the contributions of Ben Franklin. We were assigned questions 2,3,4,5 and 6 on page 146 for homework; these are due tomorrow. We will go over them in class and be ready for our quiz on Thursday.
Period 3
We read Chapter 8 in Light in the Forest; we had a choice of five questions, from which we each chose one to answer in depth. For this question we have to find three quotes from the book to back up our answer! This is due tomorrow, and counts as a mid-term assessment on this novel.
Period 5 and 6-
We practiced on demand writing with a question from Light in the Forest; received our new vocab words for a quiz scheduled for Thursday, and read Chapter 11 from LF out loud in class. We collected our notes and reviewed chapters 3-5 in our Social Studies book for our test tomorrow...this is our last open note test, and also the test over the most material; our following tests will be over 1-2 chapters.
