World, Civics, 13th Sem, Focus

World: Today we completed the RUMBLE activity related to why Rome fell. GREAT JOB! I collected your prep materials. You will receive two grades for this activity. One grade will be for your oral participation, and the other will be for the written work you submitted.  Over the weekend, review fall of empire.  We will begin the Indian Empires on Monday, specifically, the GUPTA EMPIRE.

Civics: We continued with the film and watched through 1:29. The scene where Alice Paul demands to be added to the picket list.  We will finish the film on Monday, debrief, and move into the political spectrum.  Over the weekend, read 7.4,(129-133) 8.1 & 8.2 (141-147) in the text.  Do a note taking activity. (not electronic).  Simply create two columns on a piece of paper, (A double entry journal).  One column: List what is important in the reading (use bullet points).  Second Column: Explain WHY what you wrote down is important. (Ask yourself the question, Why? Who cares?)  The Double Entry Diary and completed reading is expected for TUESDAY.  Please begin over the weekend so you are prepared when we begin in class on Monday and can finish up on Tuesday.  I do not intend on giving homework over the short break, but I do intend on completing what we begin in class on Monday & Tuesday.

13th Sem: Town Hall, followed by Resume construction.  The portfolio requirements are coming due, so you must make progress.  Be sure to adhere to draft guideline and due dates.

12th Focus: Town Hall/your 5th period.  We will continue with ACT prep and the success principles on Tuesday.
