Return Quizzes/ Prepare for Government Quiz

     Hello! Today we were lucky enough to get back to the computer lab to complete our discussion about the Battle of Marathon. Students who were prepared were able to join the discussion on Edmodo. Others were able to view the 7 min videos. We then were able to discuss the study guide. Students were shown how to use a website for creating notecards found at studystack.com. Some students were even able to sign up (for free) and get started! This will be a great resource for any subject, not just social studies! We also reviewed the expectations for paragraph (essay) answers that we discussed and practiced before. We will be looking for main ideas, details, and correct use of content vocabulary to score these. The quiz tomorrow will have 10 multiple choice and one esssay.
     Students were also given their quizzes back from latitude and longitude. Correct answers were given so students can use the quiz as a resource for future quizzes. Those quiz scores will be posted on HAC.

Homework:  Study for Chapter 26 Quiz (use Edmodo videos for review)
