Week of April 14

The Plan:

Social Studies:


Students will finish their viewing of The Battle of Thermopylae and get to know the great Greek leader Pericles.
Homeroom: Students will work to develop a plan to help them get their work done here at school.

What Is Happening:

Monday: Students who had their entrance ticket completed were able to finish watching the analysis of the Battle of Thermopylae. 

Tuesday:  Students reviewed our "Paragraph Attack" reading strategy and began using it to learn about "The Age of Pericles" from our textbooks.  We will continue our study tomorrow during class.  

Wednesday: Students completed their careful reading of the text and began to answer the Section Review questions to assess the quality of their comprehension.  They will finish the work tomorrow in class. Only those students who have make-up work or notebook clean-up were allowed to check out Social Studies notebooks tonight. :)

Thursday: Students used the class period to answer six of the Section Review questions. Class time and flex time can be used tomorrow to finish their work, however Social Studies notebooks are not allowed to be checked-out until after the holiday.

Friday: Students will work on finishing The Age of Pericles and practice their geography skills with their team as they analyze the map of the Peloponnesian War.
