Hope everyone enjoyed the Fall Break!
Eighth graders returning to class will be participating in a Mock Congress simulation, where, as part of the Civics Unit Assessment PBL, students will be debating and lobbying votes for bills they researched and created. This assessment will serve as the capstone of the Civics Unit and, based on the "Student Voice and Choice Board," we will be studying the Judicial Branch as our bridge into the Reconstruction Unit for U.S. History II curriculum.
For the sixth graders, after our study of Samhaim, will be returning to end the Ancient River Valley Civilizations Unit and present their Podcasting the Past PBL assessments. We will be moving swiftly towards studying ancient Greek history and how it applies to modern American government.
As a reminder for all, the First Marking Period ends November 18, 2015. Good luck as we move towards the end on the quarter and forward through the rest of our studies.
