We have begun our 2nd trimester!  We begin and finish a new novel before Winter Break. Nothing But The Truth, by Avi, takes place in a high school, with a 9th grade boy as the protagonist. It covers issues of free speech and perspective. Students will continue to apply their 8.1 analysis scale to the novel, as we discover what ramifications free speech may have on the entire community. This will culminate into a final essay due prior to break.

Students have Roots 1-6 Exam tomorrow, and they should study them a few minutes each evening. They will have Roots 7 next week, so should study those words after Tuesday’s quiz. They should be able to show you their notecards to study from, and if not, they should make them. They were given classtime to do this. Roots quizzes and exams will take place each Tuesday.

Students who have not received 100% will continue to study the U.S. map and will be tested each Thursday. Their quizzes have been sent to their Camas email, so they may see what they missed and what to study more. Any student with a consistent 100% will no longer be required to take the quizzes.

End of the Trimester is Tuesday, November 24th: Have all work in by Friday, November 20th.
We have wrapped up the American Revolution. Students have studied primary and secondary sources, taken notes, watch video clips, and have discussions in order to discover what happened during this time period, giving their thoughts and claims on how they would have felt in this era. We will culminate these events into a narrative this week. They will complete this process and turn it in on Wednesday. 

Students have Roots 5 quiz tomorrow, and they should study them a few minutes each evening. They will have Roots 6 next week, so should study those words after Tuesday’s quiz. They should be able to show you their notecards to study from, and if not, they should make them. They were given classtime to do this. Roots quizzes and exams will take place each Tuesday. They will have Roots 7 as they go into break with a quiz when they return. However, they will not have DL on the 23rd and 24th.

Students continue to study the U.S. map and will be tested each Thursday, with a final on November 20th. Their quizzes have been sent to their Camas email, so they may see what they missed and what to study more. Any student with 100% will no longer be required to take the quizzes.

Book Projects are due November 23 & 24. Students will present their project. Please make sure they are ready to go. The project list is on my webpage under assignments.

We have wrapped up on the Colonial Era and are moving into the American Revolution. Students will study primary and secondary sources, take notes, watch video clips, and have discussions in order to discover what happened during this time period, giving their thoughts and claims on how they would have felt in this era. We begin this week with the Stamp Act, Boston Massacre, and Coercive Acts. We will culminate these events to see how this led to the first official battle of the Revolution at Lexington and Concord.

    This is just the overview of what we are covering each week. Students and parents are encouraged to ask questions if class is missed or if there needs to be clarification on anything.


    Expectation are that all make-up work is completed in a timely fashion in order to receive credit (within a day, or quizzes within the week) in order to earn above a zero. Communication is key; I am reasonable.
