Mini-Project Over Africa Assigned

The students began work on a small project over Africa today. Full instructions are below. I would also add that NO MAGIC MARKERS should be used since they bleed through paper and make a mess and that the assignment is due on Friday 4/29.

Take Home Test Turned in Today, Africa Vocabulary Assigned and Due Tomorrow

The first item of business today was to have the students turn in their take home tests. The students were given time in class last Friday to work on these tests and allowed to take them home this past weekend if they needed more time to complete them. The test was open book/study guide so I am hopeful the grades on this exam will be good.

We will be combining the last three regions of Africa into one unit. We will be doing a mini-project over these regions. First, however, the vocabulary was assigned. This vocabulary is due tomorrow at the beginning of class. I have attached the assignment below.

*IMPORTANT* - Take Home Test Over East Africa Due Monday

The students started working on the chapter test for East Africa today in class. This is an open book/notes/resources test. This being the case, I sent the test home with the students. This test is a very important summative grade that could drastically affect their averages in my class. Please make sure that not only your student completes the test to the best of their abilities but also remembers to bring it back and turn it in on Monday. I have attached a copy of the test below just in case any student forgets to bring it home or loses their copy.

Halfway There and Quiz 2 Due Tomorrow

We are now about halfway through this fourth, and final, grading period. As they saying goes, it will get late early from this point on. I have many students who are behind in their assignments or who have failed to make up poor grades. Please check your student's grades online and question them on anything that is missing or below passing. For some, the difference between promotion to the next grade or retention/summer school will come down to the grade this nine weeks.

The quiz/worksheet for Lesson 2 over the chapter covering East Africa is due tomorrow at the beginning of the period. I have attached a copy of this assignment below.

Chapter 19 Vocabulary and Lesson 1 Quizzes Due Tomorrow

We started the chapter over East Africa yesterday. The vocabulary assignment for this chapter, along with the Lesson 1 quiz/worksheet are due tomorrow at the beginning of the class period. Please make sure your student has completed these assignments and has them ready to turn in to me (if they have not already done so).

I have attached both the vocabulary assignment and quiz 1 below.

Test Over North Africa Tomorrow!

Tomorrow, the students will be taking their chapter test over North Africa. This is a major summative grade and will greatly affect their averages. Please make sure your student prepares properly for this test.

I will be out tomorrow so a substitute will be administering the test. Please discuss proper behavior with a substitute with your student.

Below is a "study guide" that I think will be VERY helpful to the students for their test tomorrow. If your student can answer these questions successfully, they will do very well on tomorrow's exam.

Chapter 18 Lesson 2 Quiz Turned in Today, Lesson 3 Quiz Due Tomorrow

The students turned in the quiz/worksheet over Chapter 18, Lesson 2 at the beginning of the class period today.

After turning in the Lesson 2 assignment, I returned the graded papers for Lesson 1. We then went over the answers for the Lesson 1 assignment, and the strategies for finding them, in the study guide. Upon completion of this exercise, I assigned the Lesson 3 quiz/worksheet. It is due tomorrow at the beginning of the class period. I have attached a copy of the assignment below.
