Today was the last day of in-class work time for projects. I hope you used the extensive work time provided wisely and have minimal work to do this weekend.
Homework: Finish your projects and come to class ready to present on Monday (5th hour) or Tuesday (6th hour). Don't forget about the start of block scheduling on Monday! I will give students 10 minutes at the start of class on Monday/Tuesday to get organized and put last-minute finishing touches on their projects. At exactly 10 minutes after the start of class, all projects will be collected and then presentations will begin.
Remember that students who were off-task during in-class work time have already lost points; students who talk during another group's presentation will lose points every time it happens.
Do Now, Friday 9-10:
"Using your prior knowledge, choose three of the GRAPES categories and analyze the present-day United States, just as if you were doing your project on it.
Reminder: GRAPES = Geography; Religion; Achievements; Politics; Economics; Social Structures."
NOTE: On our next quiz, you will need to know basic information about each of the four ancient river valley civilizations (Sumer, Egypt, India, China) and you will also have to be able to define and provide examples for each of the GRAPES topics.
Have a great weekend!
