Today, you guys took the lesson quiz and turned in the lesson review. We did not start a new lesson before Thanksgiving.
Remember, Scholastic News is due tomorrow! Since we finished chapter 5 lesson 1 today, you guys were assigned the lesson review on page 151:1-7. This is due tomorrow when you will take the lesson quiz... it will be a plickers quiz!
There was a Scholastic News assigned today but you guys have had time to work on it and hopefully you will have more time to work on it tomorrow! We started talking about ancient Egypt today. We got through the first two parts of lesson 1 so the lesson review will be assigned on Monday to be due Tuesday.
There was also a project introduced today. The project description is below. You will use your book for the most of the information. Please do not want until the last minute to do this because then your project because it is going to take you some time. If you wait until the last minute, your parents will be frustrated with you and your project might not turn out the way you want it to and you will not earn all the points possible if it is not well done. So in order to finish the math quiz, we took about 10 minutes of history time. We made a KWL chart about Ancient Egypt. After you did that, we listened to the story at the beginning of the chapter. Ancient Egypt is a lot of fun because there is so much we can do with it. I hope you guys find it as interesting as I do!
Only 6 of you retook the test. I graded the tests and you all did test corrections today (which have not been graded yet). The 5 of you that were present to retake the test did improve your scores... some more than others. Tomorrow we will start chapter 5 over African Civilizations.
So I graded the chapter 4 tests yesterday and they were not very good. I had a few of you get decent grades (80%+) but not as many as I had hoped. The average was a 61%! What? Anyway, you reviewed the test in class today and wrote down some notes on what you need to study. If you want, you can retake the test tomorrow during class. It will not be an identical test but it will have some of the same information as the previous test. The kicker is that you have to do the long answer questions tonight for homework! They may not be done during the test. You will be expected to have a well constructed answer. Now, if you decided that you liked your test score, you did test corrections and turned those in today. Below are the long answer questions in case you lost them. Good luck on the retake tomorrow. Today, you guys took the chapter 4 test. I will grade them tonight and tomorrow you will do test corrections. I hope the scores are exceptional!
Also, there was a Scholastic News assigned today. It is due on Friday. Get a head start on it by working on it early in the week! Yesterday, we went over the review page from the book. I was really excited to see that all of you finished the whole thing! After we finished that, we played I Have Who Has which I posted below. There was a little hiccup in the game but we were able to work through it! Today we played the review game day!!! Our winners were Sophia, Jack, and Maya. Congrats guys! You have earned 5 bonus points in the grade book!!!
Tomorrow, we will go over the review page (pg136-137:1-15). If we have time, I have made an "I Have Who Has game to play. Remember, your test is on Monday! Today you guys worked on the review page in history. Be sure this is completed by Thursday so we can correct it. Your test is on Monday. You can use the classzone link to the right to review for the test.
