Week 15:
Focus This Week: SS7E8 The student will analyze different economics systems.
Compare and contrast the economic systems in China, India, Japan, and North Korea.
Opening:
Monday: New vocabulary recorded on notecards.
Tuesday - Thursday: Depending upon time needed, students will present projects that were turned in on Friday.
Thursday: Vocabulary practice; five minutes alone and five minutes with a partner; practice quiz; Around the World game depending upon how much time students have had to work with new vocabulary.
Friday: Review with a partner for test.
Work Periods:
Monday - Thursday: Students turned in projects Friday. We will listen to presentation until all students who turned projects in on time are completed.
When we are able, part of the period will be used to enter Chapter 27-28 answers into Senteos if that was not completed last week.
We will cover economics in Asia when we are able by reading Chapter 29 together. Some blocks may move forward if time permits but students can plan on the test covering the Lists 9-12 vocabulary and Chapter 29.
I will intersperse instruction with short videos featuring religious/culture topics related to Asia throughout the week.
Thursday: Students will have a test covering vocabulary and information from chapters 29.
Friday: Students will complete an enrichment activity involving reading comprehension.
Closing: Each day we will watch CNN Student News and discuss current events as time allows.
ELT: Students are able to reassess during Extended Learning Time (ELT) and before school. If a student fails a test a stamp is placed on test asking for a parent signature and listing the date any reassessment must be completed by (please see Reassessment Form and contact me for any additional information). Students must complete with 100 percent accuracy any prior Progress Monitoring assignments and the failed test in order to reassess within the two-week window. Please visit the Running Record page to see list of assignments/dates leading up to any particular test.
Assessments/Differentiation: Students will complete several assessments/checks for understanding throughout the week on vocabulary and new information as it is presented. This information will then be used to determine what information needs more practice and which students will be placed in a review group to work directly with teacher to receive individual attention/partnered practice/small groupings to increase comprehension, understanding and hopefully retention. Low test scores correlate to the amount of time necessary for study; what we are able to do in class may not be enough and should be adjusted accordingly. Materials used in class are found on this website and books may be borrowed each night to use at home. Please contact me if I can assist in any way.
Students who did not receivie passing grades on chapter questions will work individually, with a partner, or in a small group, along with teacher assistance, to go back and correct mistakes. Generally students write out question and find the correct answer and check it with me before moving forward. This is one approach to differentiation and is done as required, with more class time allotted when necessary or completed during ELT.
