Week of April 21

The Plan:
Social Studies: Students will work together to review all of our knowledge about Ancient Greece.
Homeroom:  Get a good nights sleep, a healthy breakfast, and relax.  You get to show-off all your great academic growth this week on the MAP test. 

What Is Happening:

Monday:  Students checked and corrected SSn page 61, Section 4.4 Review Questions, finished their final touches on their SSn page 62, and began working on vocabulary review puzzles.  We will finish this work tomorrow in class before beginning our review project.  Students will spend this week reviewing to prepare for an assessment on Friday.  They will have no new material presented and I am not expecting study outside of class. 

Tuesday: Students did a great job today! They checked and corrected The Peloponnesian Map activity and set up their notebooks for our Summary Review Wheel.  The students began creating a brief presentation for one heading from our current study of chapter four. They will present their work during class on Thursday.

Wednesday: Students completed their presentation notes and a visual aid in class. Any extra time was used to review vocabulary words on SSn. page 63.  We will summarize Chapter 4: The Ancient Greeks tomorrow and complete our wheel notes. The vocabulary work could come home tonight if students were not yet finished. Notebooks will come home tomorrow evening.  Students will play a mind jogger review game prior to the test on Friday.

Thursday: Students presented their Summary Review Wheel notes.

Friday: Students completed their Summary Review Wheel presentation/notes and played Mind Jogger during their normal class time.  Once everyone was able to finish their review, we took the chapter test. Students were allowed to use their notebooks for the last five minutes of the exam to double check their answers.
