Document Work

Today students wrapped up a bit of document work. We looked at a number of Reformation period primary source documents that were difficult to analyze but the experience should be a good start to working with more documents in the future. Students will work with documents on the Performance Task and ECA assessments to be completed during the fourth quarter. We will begin work with explorers on Monday.

Students also had an opportunity to retake the Reformation assessment. This retake was for students who did not fare well on the first one and held a score cap of 75%.

E-Learning Assessment

Students today took the assessment covering the material they studied during the e-learning activities over the last week. It will be the final grade for the third nine week period. We continued working on the text coding activity we began yesterday and will move on to more documents tomorrow.

Reformation Document Based Work

Today students began a continued work in the Reformation. This time, however, we will be using documents as a basis for our work. Students will practice using documents as a specific resource on which they will base their analysis.

E-Learning Follow Up

Today in class students had an opportunity to take the Reading Challenge over lesson 30 Reformation. This was the lesson students were to complete for their Snow Make Up assignment. There will be an assessment on Wednesday over the material and it will be the final grade for the third nine weeks. Also available is a Study Stack over the same lesson that may be used to help you prepare for the test. We will begin work on the Reformation again tomorrow but will not focus on the material from the E-Learning. We will be using documents from the period.

Sunday Afternoon

Greetings to Mr. Hogue's classes. My office hours have now expired and I have made comments on all the TCI submissions and video paragraph submissions that I am able. If you still have more questions or concerns, please go ahead and email as I will monitor my email to help you. Congratulations to all my students who were "on it" for the Snow Day e-learning activities and completed yours in a timely fashion. You still have tonight and tomorrow to submit your responses but I am only going to respond with "Completed for Credit" for each. The TCI will get a 4 score and the paragraphs will get a 1 score. If you look on the rubric you will see the 1 score registers a Complete for Credit note and there is no special treatment for TCI. That is why I will use the 4 there. Remember, these are not really scores at this point. They are just recorded showing that you completed them. It is very important to complete them, still, because you will be responsible for the information for the test on Wednesday wether you do or not. Tomorrow, when the due date expires, I will tabulate my record of students that completed the make up work and students that did not.

Lesson 30 Study Stack

I have provided a Study Stack to help you prepare for the Lesson 30 Assessment. This is not part of your Snow Make Up work (E-Learning) but I am posting it on an announcement and it is posted in your class period module titled Study Stack Lesson 30 to help you prepare for the assessment on Wednesday.

MLA Practice

Today students participated in a MLA Citation practice where teachers demonstrated the correct way to search out source information for correct citation. Students practiced and then were advised to go to their MLA forms, make corrections, and re submit them for scoring. If you have trouble with the re submit, please email your teacher. Remember, you were to already submit this last week and we said we would go over it again so you could make any correction necessary. We will score what you submit so please be sure to check the file to see that it is the correct one.

Remember, today is Friday and you only have until Monday to complete the E-Learning work (Snow Day Make Up). Check your teacher's "Office Hours" in order to email with questions. If you email at other times, we will respond. It just might not be immediately.

Test Tips: There will be an assessment on Wednesday over the E-Learning material. It will be an online multiple choice and true/false Canvas test. It will be over the reading in lesson 30 of TCI. Use your reading notes and video to help you prepare. You can make a Study Stack for practice, as well.
