Update Jan. 6

Welcome Back and Happy New Year! I am looking forward to this new semester with you. We have some of my favorite curriculum to enjoy together this semester. We will be starting with Pride and Prejudice in Literature and the American Founding and Restoration in History. Can't wait!

Bellwrite: What goals do you have for your education this new semester? Consider goals in terms of 1) behaviors 2) thoughts and 3) relationships. What obstacles are you likely to face? What specifically can you do to meet or present these challenges?

Students received their graded assignments and filed them in their binders.

We discussed the proposition that the Declaration of Independence is a liberal document, and the Constitution is a conservative document. Students then worked with a graphic organizer to study the Constitution. They are responsible for knowing the main purpose of the preamble, each article, and the first ten amendments. Students also completed a graphic organizer helping them understand which powers are delegated to the national government, state governments, and self government.

Homework
  • Complete the Graphic Organizers.
  • Check your grades on Edline for inaccuracies.
