Social Studies 8

We finished taking notes on Chapter 15. Students who had returned their take-home folders were given their 3rd quarter grades as well as assignments from the past few weeks. We discussed that the current project requires a lot of independent student work. Waiting until the last minute to begin this assignment will not be beneficial to a student's grade. We also discussed that this is good practice for 9th grade next year, when students will have fewer reminders and checkpoints to keep them on track.

Assignment: Finish pre-writing and begin rough draft of autobiography project. We will be in the computer lab tomorrow and students need to be ready to type, not just starting their projects.
