Hello 9th Graders! Hello 9th Grade Parents!
All right then, let’s see what’s happening this week…
Monday – Student Presentations. Well….at least, that was the plan. Not everyone was quite are prepared as one might hope. However, hope springs eternal! This leads us to the next day…
Tuesday – Yep, MORE student presentations! I have the highest hopes that we’ll finish up tomorrow. Remember, the students get to take notes on the presentations of their peers, and they get to use those notes on the exam.
Wednesday and Thursday – I’m sure that the student presentations have covered the material from Chapter four….but we are going to spend a couple of days going over it in a slightly more formal way. There’s lots of stuff here I want the kids to know…Women’s suffrage…civil rights…The Teapot Dome Scandal…AND Prohibition! We’ll talk about it in class….
Friday – Chapter is done, time to take a test!!
So, not a lot in the way of homework this week…which is good because I have about a zillion papers to grade. I’ll be grading papers every night. It’ my favorite thing to do!!
Well…no, not really. Sigh…. ;)
