You have arrived at the Discovery Middle School social studies 6th grade blog and web page administered by Jennifer Cobb and Randy Hogue. These pages and blogs are dedicated to assisting students and parents in the efforts to keep up with not only what is going on class but also to serve as a resource to accompany our study of Greece, Rome, and the Western World.

Friday - Yeah!
Friday is here! Today we talked a bit about the Arizona Smith Rome video. Students added to their notes as we discussed Roman topics. Also, we began vocabulary work using Study Stack. We ran out of time in a big way so I am extending that work through Monday's class. If you have a device to bring on Monday, bring it. You should come to class Monday having completed the definitions to all the vocabulary terms found on the Focus Sheet. I have included one in this post. Complete the Rome terms and the Chapter 36 terms. If you have time to build your Study Stack, between now and then, you will be able to begin playing with your partners directly after we talk about the returned essay over Greece legacies.
Homework: View the video pushed out Thursday. Complete the vocabulary terms under "Rome" and "Chapter 36" on the Focus Sheet included on this post.
