Chapter 17 Notes/Questions are here.
Chapter 16/17 Religion/Government chart is here.
Opening each day:
CNN News
Work Period:
I will conference with each student and discuss their current grade in class on Monday.
Students will receive graded tests taken Friday. Any student with a failing grade will have a “Reassessment by 9/13” stamped on their answer sheet. Students have five days to reassess any test taken from the date tests are handed back to the class. In order to reassess, students have to write the question and correct answer to any questions missed on the original test (a copy is available upon request) and conference with me to make sure they understand why errors were made. In addition, any chapter questions or other graded materials leading up to the test must have been completed and turned in.
Tuesday through Thursday:
New vocabulary words written on notebook paper. Words/definitions available on Quizlet. Differentiation: Words and definitions will be displayed on Smartboard and read aloud. Students will add List 3 to their vocabulary section of notebook.
This week we are looking government structures and types in the Middle East in Chapter 17 in the student workbook.
Closing each day will be review games revolving around new and previous vocabulary words, geography terms, facts, and locations, as well as material covered in class.
Differentiation: Students who miss any chapter questions will correct answers with teacher.
Friday: Test over vocabulary (cumulative covering Lists 1-4) and chapter 17
After test we will read articles in Scholastic magazine together.
This week we will be covering standards:

a. Describe the ways government systems distribute power: unitary, confederation, and federal.
