Extra, Extra Credit!

I have given the class an extra credit assignment for this 2nd 6-weeks. It will be due December 4th, and only students who have all other work turned in are eligible to do this extra credit. The requirements for the assignment are as follows:

Write a 500 word legend that includes 5 different topics of study from our Africa unit. It must be typed, properly formatted, and students should consider the 6 writing traits when writing the legend. Good luck guys!

Also, to encourage students to turn their work in, and to reward those who turn in their work, I have a 100% club. Students who have 100% of their work turned into me at certain points throughout the 6-weeks get treats for their effort.

Let's keep up the good work!

Test this Friday!

Students have their test on Islamic Civilization this Friday. They are allowed to use notes on their tests. I recommend that they study these notes beforehand to know where to find the information when taking the test.

Change in homework...

The homework this week will not be a packet. Students are responsible for finding all vocabulary words in yellow from their JAT books Chapter 11. Students will list the words and their definitions. Due Friday!

Also, I want to remind parents that they can view grades on pinnacle every Thursday and send a quick e-mail letting me know that they have viewed them. Please include your child's name and their class grade percentage in the e-mail.
