Hey 7th Graders!
So, we start Chapter 9 this week. Lots of cool stories in this chapter! Violent revolutions! Mountain Men! Revolutionaries playing FOOTBALL with someone's head!! (icky, I know....but sometimes history is like that.) Oh, ad there's some kind of map thrown in there as well...I know, I know, some of you think that maps are boring. Well, I think they're cool! And, as I'm the teacher....well, you'll have some kind of map assignment.
It's terribly unfair, I know.
Here's the plans for the week, in brief, just so you have an idea of what's coming up...
Monday – Notebook Check, NM Map Assignment
Tuesday – Chapter 9 Class Discussion – The Santa FE Trail, Mountain Men, and Bent’s Fort. Assign GR9
Wednesday – Chapter 9 Class Discussion – The Revolt of 1837 and the Texas- Santa Fe Expedition
Thursday – GR9 due, graded in class
Friday – No School, Teacher in-service. No school! No school for you! Sleep in! Have a really nice (and long) weekend!
If you need a copy of the GR9, there's one in the document secition of this website.
