Reading Notes Scientific Revolution

Hello! Today we worked for a bit on the Cobb web which will be due as the ticket to take the assessment which is likely on Wednesday. Students also were returned their assessments from the Reformation and the Age of Exploration. The retake for the Reformation is a take home (pink sheet given today) retake due on Wednesday. The retake for the Age of Exploration is on Friday in class. Students were told exactly what to do today (Mrs. Cobb talked to both classes.) to prepare for it. Students with scores below 70% are expected to retake these for a highest possible retake score of 75%. Students then worked on the reading notes for chapter 34 with their partner. We discussed them one section at a time. We will complete them on Monday. Hope everyone gets out and enjoys the weather this weekend!

Beginning Study of Scientific Revolution

Hello! Today we completed the preview with all the classes. Students did a pre-read of the chapter with their partner and we read/discussed 34.1-34.2. Students then worked on their own to complete the 12 vocabulary words. (There are 16 on the focus sheet. They will not do the people listed there.) This is not homework.

Scientific Revolution BIG IDEAs

Hello all! Today we reviewed the BIG IDEAs for the Scientific Revolution with the handout from the video notes. Students viewed a video of the Rosco's overview of the chapter about the Scientific Revolution. Students shared the notes and added to make theirs more complete. Some classes were able to begin the preview for the chapter. There is no homework except eat and sleep well. Tomorrow we will compete the LA portion in the morning and then students will complete the science portion during their science class.

Tuesday

Hey all. Today students took the first portion of the ISTEP exam. In SS they began viewing and recording information for their data charts on the Scientific Revolution. We will continue that theme tomorrow and have no SS activity at home for a couple of days as we concentrate on doing our best on the ISTEP exams.

Age of Exploration Assessment

Hello all! Today we reviewed for the quiz on Age of Exploration assessment and then took it! Students cleared out their binders in Mrs. Cobb's class and took the papers to their portfolio boxes. Mr. Hogue's class will do this soon. Students then read from blue books about Reformation and Enlightment or read the Upfront magazines. There will be no homework during iSTEP testing which is be finishing up on Thursday. Eat well and get some good sleep.
