Hello! Today students reviewed latitude and longitude again in preparation for the quiz tomorrow. Many students feel they have it mastered and won't need much study, but others feel they need to spend a little time working on it tonight. We also completed the processing paragraph for chapter 25. At the end, students viewed a quick showme about what kind of paragraph would receive what grade. (See the showme on the side of blog under videos/resources) Students then graded their own paragraphs to see what grade they would have earned. Basically, we will be grading writing on the main ideas, details, and use of content vocabulary all year long. In most classes, we then discussed the focus sheet for the Greece unit. Students will keep this in their binder for the whole unit. (See the showme on the side of blog under videos/resources). Only a few classes were able to start the vocabulary activity for chapter 26. We will finish tomorow.
Homework: Study for lat/long quiz tomorrow (paper pencil), Edmodo videos on types of Governments in Greece with attached handout to be printed out at home to take notes with during the videos
