Grades, Vocabulary Assignments and First Set of Notes Over Brazil

This weekend, I submitted grades for the UIL grade check. This grade check marks the end of the 6th week for this 9 week grading period. There are only 3 weeks left for students to get their averages where they need to be. Today, each student was given the opportunity to hear their up to date average for my class and was given a list of what assignments, if any, they were missing. Please check with your student as to what they are missing and go online to view their grades. Time is quickly running out on this grading period.

In an effort to get the students a couple of easy grades to raise their averages, I assigned the vocabulary from Chapter 9. This chapter has an unusually high number of vocabulary words so I decided to break the vocabulary assignment in half and make it two grades, the theory being two good grades will raise a low average faster than one good grade. The vocabulary assignments are below. Please do each assignment separately as they are two individual grades.

Below the two vocabulary assignments are the notes from Chapter 9, Lesson 1 over Brazil. Please make sure your student copies these notes or prints them out for study.
