Tuesday after the Unit 7 Pre-Test students started working on their Unit 7 Vocabulary Boxes. Unit 7 is typically the most difficult unit for students so it is important that each student stay on top of his/her work throughout the unit starting with vocabulary.

For each vocabulary word students are given the definition and they have to describe:
*things the word is like
*things the word is not like
*draw a picture that represents the word.
The completed Vocabulary Boxes are due on Friday, and the Vocabulary Quiz will be on Friday. Students can use the games listed below to help them review and should also be studying their purple notecards.

Today is the beginning of the 3rd nine weeks.

The Pre-AP classes will have their first test on Wednesday. This test will cover Unit 6. There is an ActivVote review and review games posted below to help students study.

In all other classes we will be making a Revolutionary War Timeline. The timeline will be due on Thursday and will be the first grade of the 3rd nine weeks.

The Pre-AP students are not responsible for the timeline but they may complete it for extra credit. I have shown them an example in class and they are welcome to work on it at lunch if they need supplies.
