Science: 1st & 5th hours checked the practice test review for tomorrow's test. All classes, Unit 2 test tomorrow! Students have the following to help them study: practice test review, unit 2 quiz, notes, 3 homework assignments. Good luck tomorrow!
LA - Today I only met with 3rd hour (C day). Students went over the elements of plot and took notes. We also discussed major (dynamic) and minor (static) characters. Students also worked on grammar, "combining to imitate" - practicing with prepositional phrases. HW - plot out their fiction book that they just completed. Due tomorrow 12/3. Students should be reading the biography or autobiography book every night. At least 30 pages. Their next accelerated quiz will be on 1/10.
Social Studies: Students shared current events and worked on geography facts in class. No homework. Current events due "C" and "F" days.
Pre-Algebra: We started a practice test for chapter 3. They must finish it for homework. Chapter 3 test is on Monday.
Technology: Students began Module 1 Part 1 in Moodle. This Module focuses on globalization and the effects it will have on the job market. We watched a video that gave many facts at a high rate while the students took notes. This was to emphasize how fast information is coming at them and how quickly the world and technology are changing. Students are to have the article on globalization done by tomorrow.
In class on Friday, students will view 3 videos (posted on Moodle) post responses to each and then write an essay on globalization using the information given from the four videos and the article in this section. This essay is due next week (either Tuesday or Friday depending on when our next meeting is). http://moodle.oakland.k12.mi.us/berkley/course/view.php?id=107
