Assignments for 9/14-9/18
This week we will be starting to create our "General Know's" Term Collage slide. Using the SLIDES app in Google, the students will be creating a slide that will include their assigned General Know's terms and pictures that describe their terms. They will also need to write two sentences for each picture chosen explaining why they picked that particular picture to represent your term. These will need to be shared with me by Thursday. On Friday, the class will present their General Know's Term Collages to the class.

* ALL OF THE SOCIAL STUDIES CLASSES (History & Civics) WILL BE REQUIRED TO MEMORIZE DIFFERENT THINGS IN EVERY MARKING PERIOD. THEY WILL BE ASSIGNED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK AND BY THE END OF EACH WEEK (Friday), A PART OF THE MEMORIZATION ASSIGNMENT IS DUE. THESE PARTS CAN BE RECITED TO ME OR ANY OF THE STUDY HALL TEACHERS WHO WILL HAVE THE SCHEDULE FOR EACH MEMORIZATION WHEN THE STUDENTS GET THEIRS. I WILL ALSO POST THE SCHEDULE ON THIS SITE. THIS IS SIMILAR TO HOW THE BIBLE CLASSES DO THEIR VERSES.
ALONG WITH THE MEMORIZATIONS, WILL BE A LIST OF DATES IMPORTANT TO THE HISTORY OF THE US THAT ALL STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW AND REMEMBER. THE QUIZZES FOR THESE IN THE 1MP WILL BE PLANNED, BUT AFTERWARDS THEY WILL BE UNANNOUNCED DURING THE REST OF THE YEAR.
