World History Direct Teach Wednesday (2/17/13)

Good Morning!

Well, plans have changed again!  But, we are great at being flexible, so we are just going to push on through!

We are postponing the Video Project until next week..this will give us all more time to prepare and research and work!

Today, you will have a journal assignment in class.  This journal assignment will serve to introduce into our next Unit:  Revolutions (Scientific and Political).

After the journal assignment is completed, you will be given the BOK for the next Unit.  You will need to work on the two highlighted pages.  These pages will be due tomorrow.

After lunch, you will be released back to your computer labs.  Ms. Carlino and I will be calling for students in groups of 3-4 to come to Room 102 to participate in an Oral Test Discussion.  I have posted the questions that we will be discussing on the World History Assignment page.  You will need to access those questions in order to prepare for this discussion.  This will be a major grade (and an easy way to help raise your average!) Be prepared!!

Good Luck!
Mrs. Russell

World History Direct Teach Monday (2/25/13)

Good Morning Everyone!

Today, we will be meeting in our usual groups before lunch.  If you are in A lunch, you will go to room 112 with Ms. Carlino..If you are in B lunch, you will go to room 102 with Mrs. Russell (me!).

We will be watching 2 video clips in class today.  They are examples (one professional and one student made) of the type of presentation video that you will be doing for your final project for World History first semester.  

After lunch, you will return to your original lab classrooms.  Ms. Carlino and I have meetings that we have to attend this afternoon, so you will need to go back to your labs.  I am posting 2 assignments that you need to complete in your labs before tomorrow!  

Tomorrow, we will meet in our A/B groups and we will be discussing the rubric for the presentation and assigning your topic.  

Good Luck!
Mrs. Russell
