Week of 1-4 Dec 2009.
CLASS WORK AND HOMEWORK ARE POSTED TOGETHER SO YOU KNOW WHAT WE DID IN
CLASS AND WHAT HOMEWORK WAS ASSIGNED. IF YOU ARE OUT, YOU SHOULD KEEP UP WITH
THE WORK YOU MISSED AND THE HOMEWORK.
FOR 7TH AND 8TH GRADE SOCIAL STUDIES: The procedure for doing chapter work is
standard all year. When chapters and sections are assigned, you will read the
section and complete the guided reading worksheets that I hand out at the
beginning of each chapter. The second part of your homework is to take the
terms at the end of each section (always question 1 of the section
assessment) and define them in your copybooks. Label each section and chapter
so you know where to study before a test. I will check this at the end of
each marking period and it will be part of your homework grade. Your answers
for each term should come from the section you are reading. Do not use the
glossary at the end of the book. I will be giving periodic quizzes, some
announced, some unannounced. If you do your homework properly, you should not
have any problem.
7th Grade: Remember- you will always have to complete the guided rdg wksheet
and terms for each section assigned for homework. Please complete the
assignments nightly regardless if I finish reviewing a particular
section in class. It is better for you to be slightly ahead of me so you can
participate in class discussion. Expect quizzes both announced and
unannounced.If you do your homework, you should not have any problems.
