Hi All,
I have a couple of updates.
I want to thank you for being patient with me as I was away this past week. I am responding to all your emails at my earliest convenience.
1st Update= Unit Exams are being graded, I will let you know once they are all completed. I still have some students who were absent last week and have not finished or began taking the exam, please send them over for PAWS tomorrow. It will be the last day to complete their exam.
2nd Update= Rubrics were handed out for their second notebook check and glued into the students interactive notebook today in class. I will be checking notebooks next Monday. I asked students to make sure that they take this week to check that they have everything in order.
3rd update= students were assigned their new vocabulary for this unit. Vocabulary words can be found on pg. 83, 89 and 99 on the top right hand corner. I am listed them below and in the correct order in case some students did not get it down:
1. Mesopotamia (Spanish: Mesopotamia)
2. Floodplain (Spanish: Llanura de Inundación)
3. Silt (Spanish: Limo)
4. Semiarid (Spanish: Semiárido)
5. Drought (Spanish: Sequía
6. Surplus (Spanish: Excedente)
7. Civilization (Spanish: Civilización)
8. Sumer (Spanish: Sumeria)
9. City-State (Spanish: Ciudad-Estado)
10. Ziggurat (Spanish: Zigurat)
11. Polytheism (Spanish: Politeísmo)
12. King (Spanish: Rey)
13. Bronze (Spanish: Bronce)
14. Pictograph (Spanish: Pictografía)
15. Stylus (Spanish: Estilo)
16. Cuneiform (Spanish: Cuneiforme)
17. Scribe (Spanish: Escriba)
Students are expected to do their vocabulary in their interactive notebooks (pages 55-58). They will have to look up the definition in the glossary, draw a drawing illustrating the word and color it and write out a sentence using the word (highlight the term). My Spanish students will have to also list the word in English. It will be due on MONDAY.
Please reach out if you have any questions.
