World-Civics-13th Seminar

World:  We debriefed the quiz today, nice work!  Also, we revisited what it takes to be an empire.  Our next big idea to focus on is, "if empires are so great, why do they fall?"  We did a pre-reading of the Han to get reacquainted.  While we learn this material, remember to focus on inference...reasons why empire might fall.  Due on Wednesday is the short essay on Religion.

Tomorrow you will have a sub, Mrs. Iden.  You will work in class with a graphic organizer activity on the reasons for the fall of the Han.

Civics: We debriefed Quiz II today. Nice work!  We the People  was the topic and hopefully now you have a better understanding of what that reading is about.  Especially we are on the eve of learning beginning our constitutional convention prep.  You received some vocabulary to work through, due on Wednesday. 

Tomorrow you will have a sub, Mrs. Iden. You will work in class with a reading and questions on the Founding Rivalries related to Constitution making.

13th Sem: Initiatives in B.  Teach in Organization. Remember, Friday is YOUR teach in.
