Period 1 -2
We completed the Section on Financial Institutions and Debit cards in our JA books, reviewed for our Vocab test tomorrow (we had a schedule change today that made our normal Thursday vocab quiz difficult to schedule!), read through Chapter 3 in Light in the Forest, and began working on Chapter 4.2 in our Social Studies book.
Period 3 -We read the first Chapter in Light in the Forest in class, and then were assigned Chapter 2 and 3 on our own. The pages that need to be read by tomorrow are pages 3 - 24. There will be a quiz over that reading tomorrow, following a class discussion. You may use any notes you take on the reading in class. The very short vocab test (only five words from the reading, My First Free Summer in your Lit Books) is scheduled for Friday, instead of Thursday, this week only.
Period 5 -6
We took our vocab quiz, began reading Chapter 4 in Light in the Forest, and completed the section on Financial Institutions and Debit Cards in our JA books. Homework for tomorrow: fill in the worksheet for Light in the Forest, Chapters 3 and 4. This is due tomorrow! Remember, you will need three questions or observations for the final section on the worksheet, and each of your quotes need to have an explanation as to why you think it represents cruelty/racism by one group toward the other.
