Science: Students continued working on the  "Is The Force With You?" lab rough drafts. Rough drafts for peer review are due tomorrow. Students do NOT have to print their paper as students can peer review with electronic copies to save paper. Students with google accounts will also be able to "share" their final drafts with me in lieu of printing out a paper copy. Final drafts are due on Monday, November 24.

Geometry: Continued our discussion of congruence by analyzing various congruence proofs. Quiz on concurrency is tomorrow. 

French 2: Unit 10 quiz tomorrow. Unit 10 test on Friday and Monday

Pre-Algebra: Today we finished notes over 3.3. The homework is 3.3, 1-21 odd and 23-24 due tomorrow. I have added a challenge worksheet on the back if a student wants to substitute a challenge question for a regular assigned problem, or just as extra practice. There will be a 3.1 - 3.3 quiz this Friday, November 21. The notes and homework are available at http://norupstein.weebly.com/pre-algebra-notes-and-homework

ELA - On Day 8 students debated each other's themes. We read over the three paragraphs written so far and found any different points of view and debated this. The idea is that the author should win because they have so many pieces of evidence to back up their thesis. Students then worked to incorporate the counterargument in to their paper, be it included in an already written paragraph or writing a new paragraph dedicated to the refuting of the counterargument. Homework: Journal entry 2.19 (counterargument paragraph) and READ!!! We are close to 1/3 way through the 2nd marking period we should have at least one quiz taken by now and well on our way to 1/2 way through our point goals!
