You can set notifications to have an email sent to your inbox, if desired, so that all new announcements come directly to you. (Go to settings/notifications and set the type you want. You may even choose a text message.)
Here we are at the start of the last 8 weeks of school. We are gaining momentum and will be concluding the section on explorers this Thursday with our lesson 32 test. Today students worked on completing their Exit Chart which focusses on the impacts of the explorers on the places they visited. This chart will be student's ticket to take the test and failure to complete it will result in a delayed test taking event until the chart is complete. Tomorrow, we will be working on the viewing and note taking of video #2 as well as the Explorer frayer model chart. It seems that we are working on a number of charts that is correct as we are pulling together information to help you study for the exam.
The following are the charts and activities you should have complete to this point:
Age of Exploration - Video #1
Lesson 32 Video Notes Chart: video #1 - Reasons to, not to, and Problems they faced as well as connections on the right column. (Video #2 has not been viewed yet.)
Lesson 32 Vocabulary Chart: 10 vocabulary terms with definitions and tweets - hash-tags.
TCI Setting the Stage Europe Enters the Modern Age lesson 32 (geography challenge - which is the map and five questions)
TCI Lesson 32 reading notes for questions spelled out in the module. We are not doing them all.
Exit Chart should be completed for Hogue.
