Students viewed and evaluated the class averages for yesterday's map test. We discussed that at this point in the year, it is each student's responsibility to be studying for their map tests. The remaining projects we are doing this semester are very time-intensive and Mr. Whitmore and Ms. Francoeur would prefer to have students be responsible for studying for map tests, rather than taking class time to "force" students to study.
Students completed a study guide about the "Australia" video which previews our next unit.
