Period 1 - 2
We took the vocab test - as we had less time to study due to our testing this week, the vocab test will be re-taken by everyone next Tuesday. We will review on Monday.
We read Chapter 11 in Tom Saywer in small readingn groups today and then discussed as a large group at the end of class. In Social Studies, we created our political parties, working on our party platforms, symbols and names.

Period 3
We took a Vocab test and wrote a reflection on Chapter 7; we read Chapter 8 silently and completed the worksheet on that Chapter in class. If you did NOT complete the worksheet, it is due on Monday at the beginning of class.

Period 5 -6
We turned in the Chapter 9-11 questions, took the vocab test and read Chapter 12 out loud in class; please finish by Monday. We reviewed our Unit Focus Quesions (UFQ's) and discussed how they would be used in our scored discussion at the end of the unit.
We worked on creating our political parties, finalizing our political platforms and symbols, names and leadership hierarchy.
