Mrs. Smith’s Class

There are lots of things going on now in Challenge Block. The Trimester is coming to an end soon and many items are coming due.

Reading:

• Don’t forget your Literature Reviews. These are due every Friday. Remember to log onto moodle from the link on this blog to enter the weekly Lit. Reviews. The books you report on must also be listed on your nightly reading log.
• You have your Non-fiction required readings to keep up on as well. These can be used for your Literature Reviews so you can be accomplishing both at the same time. Remember 1st trimester’s required readings are books on Writing, Sports or other competitive activity, and science or nature. The due dates and submission instructions are on the moodle site.

Language Arts.

• We have not had weekly homework packets while we prepared for the summative test for the material included in the homework packets. Packets will resume when I have returned the tests to you so you can retake if necessary and not have competing information to study.
• You should now be finishing up the “Who Am I” project. The final essay is due this week and the final project is due Nov. 14th. This is when you should resubmit any corrections to previously graded essays.

History

• Research project to be turned in Wed. Nov. 5th.  Remember the paper must be typed, double spaced, and have a bibliography. You must also turn in your notes compiled for this paper.
• History test over Ch. 6 will take place Friday. You may use your paper as a study guide during the test.
