SOCIAL STUDIES - Mr. Rowe
We have just started our "Independence" simulation, in which students have been given fictitious
roles and will re-enact the Stamp Act, First Continental, and Second Continental Congresses. The
simulation actually gets under way Friday, and students' only responsibility is to have a 1-2 minute
speech ready by Friday's class. Students have been given expectations, rubrics, and instruction on
speech preparation and delivery. Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions, comments, or
concerns.

The only assigned homework this week is make-up work. All students should
make sure they've turned in their memory poems and book jackets by Wednesday
at the very latest. Students are encouraged to keep up with their daily
reading for the remainder of the week and during vacation. Students who have
not completed an independent reading activity yet should strive to do so by the
time they return from vacation. Happy holidays!
SOCIAL STUDIES - Mr. Rowe
There is no assigned homework this week, although students need to make sure
their French and
Indian War essay is submitted before they leave for break. Students have been
given rubrics and
expectations, and they will be given all of Tuesday's class to work on these.
In addition, there will be
team makeup time on Wednesday for anyone needing extra time. Please contact
me with any issues.
Have a Happy Vacation!
