SS 9

Welcome to your second week of school SS 9 students! Thank you for working well in class today.

Also, thank you to Brynn, Shey and Hailey for handing in their work a day early! (I also have a copy without a name on it)

Things we did today:


  • Review of Friday's class
  • Went to the Library to get our Crossroads textbooks
  • Corrected the Social Studies 8 Review Quiz as a class
  • Read p.3 together in Crossroads
  • Notes on p.3 (a good example of notes) - I assigned you to do the same kind of notes independently for p. 4-5 from the textbook 
  • Presented the rubric for the Note-taking Assignment
  • Time given to work on the Note-taking Assignment and your Europe maps
  • Game: 2 truths, 1 lie
Reminders:
  • The Note-taking Assignment for pages 4-5 in Crossroads is due tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2013) 
*Refer to the rubric and your notes for this assignment. You can also google "Cornell Notes" for more examples of the layout 
  • You will receive 5% off for each day that the assignment is handed in late
  • Europe mapping assignments are due Friday, Sept. 13, 2013
  • You still have until Friday to hand in your signed Course Outlines (you will just receive marks off)
