Vocabulary quiz next week

Today all classes were told of the vocabulary quiz scheduled for next Wednesday, 2/11.
All classes have completed the definitions and/or crossword (Pd 2 and 6 get the crossword on Thursday) --those few that haven't have a "Social Studies Homework Missing" stamp in their agenda book on Monday or Wednesday.

Students are encouraged to study several minutes each evening--not to wait until Tues. night :-) .

I have a .ppt review that I will show in class, and will also try to post here as well.

Above is a pic of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. In Sub-Saharan vocab, remember it is a "cataract".

Homework, 2/4--History Day update

History Day presentations went very well today. We had lots of judges from around the school, as well as some VIP judges from outside the school- Dr. Mark Stout, Bob Coleman, and Arden Stara--HCPSS secondary Social Studies coordinator, middle school Social Studies resource teacher , and high school Social Studies resource teacher, respectively.

Homework for Periods 1,3,4--complete the vocabulary crossword puzzle for Wednesday, 2/4. We will go over the words in class and there will be a quiz next week. I will not collect the puzzle, as it should be used as a study tool.
Period 2 and6. Vocabulary definitions 1-34 will be due on Wednesday, 2/4. Those classes will have time in class Tues to work on definitions, as well as make sure they have they entire list--due to absences, sectionals, History Day, etc.
