Monday

Today students completed most of their image analysis work on the Greco-Persian Wars. This work is similar to the model of the PLT (Performance Literacy Task) assessment. This activity will culminate with a writing assignment (in class) in which they will conclude their work with a paragraph response. Students have already begun their work in chapter 29 with the Cobb Webb work last Friday. The retake opportunity will take place Wednesday and will be the C level assessment only and allow students that scored below that to raise their score to 75%.

 Retake Test Tips:
*Students should know the eight vocabulary terms from the Focus Sheet for chapter 26. They may use or make flashcards, Study Stack, or just study their vocabulary chart that they made for the chapter. *Students should be able to explain each of the four governments.
*Students should be able to order the four governments used by the Athenians according to their use (as in which came first, second, and so on).
