Governments of Ancient Greece

Hello! Today students completed another warmup on latitude and longitude. We want to encourage students to work on this skill at the home. The more the students practice correctly, the better and more confident they will become. We are preparing for the quiz on Friday! We then completed our gallery walk of the vocabulary for chapter 26. Students viewed each others "posters" of information about each word and were able to learn from what other students created. Students should have completed a chart with the vocabulary word, definition, and picture of each of the 8 words for this chapter. They will complete this chart for all of the unit so in the end they will have one place to go to prepare for the Greece test. When then started in chapter 26 with some pre-reading activities. Some classes were able to begin the activity for each of the types of governments involving roll playing and music. Students will hopefully complete this activity tomorrow.

Homework:  Study for latitude/longitude quiz on Friday, Bring Your Own Devise (BYOD) day on Friday
