THIS WEEK IN SOCIAL STUDIES
11/18-11/22
IA #2 WEEK IS HERE!
Between the remarkable African Country Projects that I graded and the overwhelmingly large number of students that mastered the Map from Memory: Africa test, I am blown away by the amount of effort shown by every single student in my class. You should be very proud of yourselves, students, I am SO proud of you:)The work never stops, however, and now it is your time to shine on the second IA. Because the IA is a skills test, it is imperative that the practice you get in class you put to good use while testing. Please take your time and use process of elimination, annotating, and all other test taking strategies that you have learned and practiced.
The Social Studies IA 2 is only a multiple choice test and there is no short answer. Students will still be given 60 minutes to complete the test, so taking the time to not make silly mistakes is imperative. Use the time! You have it! This also means that there will be an extension activity for any time remaining. The extension activity is a Africa Map Analysis. This is due on Friday and will be the only homework you receive in my class this week.
Big news to keep in mind:
This is the LAST week of the first trimester. Make sure all missing assignments have been completed and turned in. The Summative Assessment for Unit 3 will be after Thanksgiving Break.
