You must have an independent reading book every day. If you are getting close to the end of one, have the next one at school and ready to go. Math: 7th & 8th Grade:
  • Due Thurs., 10/29:
    • Correct any errors from last week's MM (Term 1, Ex. 5) on white, lined paper.
    • Complete Math's Mate, Term 1, Ex. 6. Show your work for problems marked with * on the same white, lined paper you used to show your corrections from last week.
Social Studies:
  • Due Thurs., 10/29: Number the Persian War events on the sheet from class today 1-12 in chronological order.
  • Due Fri., 10/30: Your topic for Independent Study about Greece with reasons. The topic must connect clearly to what we have been studying together and can include the areas of Drama, History, Politics, Cultural Life (education, trades, economic life), Philosophy, Military, Democracy/Politics. As you think of a possible topic, consider:
    • Does this topic connect clearly to what we have studied?
    • Something that is important about the topic (an important question that arose for you, for example, as we were looking at the way democracy working in Ancient Athens)
    • How you will present this information, so as to teach others about what you have learned.
    • The particular think I find important or especially interesting about this topic that I would like to share with others is:
    • The way I'm thinking about presenting this information is (for example, model, poster, powerpoint, drawing, large map, simple game, etc.):
Language Arts:
  • Due Fri., 10/30: Chapter 11 in Goddess of Yesterday
    • Read Ch. 11 (19 p.)
    • Be ready for a quiz on the chapter.
    • On the index card provided, write an edited question which you would like discussed in class and an accurately copied short passage from the chapter itself upon which you want to focus.
