Wonderful First Week!

Well, I am very glad to say the first week of school is coming to an end. As I am writing this it is about half an hour before school begins on FRIDAY!!!!! I am positive that all of my students and fellow teachers share my enthusiasm. There are a few reminders that I must post:

U.S. History (11th graders)
- Complete your homework assignment over the weekend, everyone should get a start on it in class

• The assignment is: Imagine you are an immigrant on your way to America. Write a diary entry describing where you settled. Consider the location, possible occupations, and effect on the Indians.

World History (10th graders)

-Complete your homework assignment over the weekend, everyone should get a start on it in class

• The assignment is as follows: Imagine you are living in a culture before it has developed a system of writing. Describe what everyday life would be like. Consider what human activities can make use of writing and how these activities would be handled without writing.

American History (8th graders)

-Complete your homework assignment over the weekend, everyone should get a start on it in class

The assignment is as follows: Imagine your are living in an early Native American society. Write describing your life as a member of this group. Consider food, shelter, and other cultural trait.

All writing for me should be at least 2 paragraphs with 4-8 sentences in each paragraph!!! Make sure your paragraphs express your thinking, not just information straight from your book and notes. I want you to think OUTSIDE THE BOX! Good luck!
