HONORS: Homework and Do Now, Monday 9-20 and Tuesday 9-21

Project grades on the Ancient Civilizations GRAPES project were returned today. Students were held to a high standard, and grades ranged from excellent to poor in the honors classes. Each student received an individual grade on the project.

I cannot stress enough the importance of staying focused and working hard every single class period, of reading directions, and of taking every assignment seriously. Take pride in all of your work!

Homework:

Reading notes on the packet handed out on Friday will be checked at the beginning of class on Wednesday. If you are having trouble with the reading notes assignments, please let me know.

In class assignment (homework for those who didn't finish or were absent):

A T-chart listing major beliefs and practices of Hinduism.

Do Now, Monday 9-20 (5th) and Tuesday 9-21 (6th):

Please answer ONE of the following questions:

1. Describe one example of a Hindu belief and one example or a Hindu practice.
2. Describe, explain, and/or discuss the Hindu caste system. The Hindu caste system is a social hierarchy in which a person was born into a caste and remained in that caste throughout his or her life, but could be reincarnated as a member of a different caste.
