PREPARNG FOR THE 2018-2019

6TH GRADE FINAL

 

Mr. Garcia

6^th Grade end of the year in class essay final

Information

 

 

What all of my students need to know about preparing for the end of the year in class essay final. Also attached to this email is all of the cheat sheets given out this year.

 

This final will be based on a PowerPoint program. There will be a total of 20 paragraphs that each student will be responsible for.  The program will be on a timer, so each student will have three minutes to start and write a paragraph explaining what they see.

Based on what Mr. Garcia has taught you, all students will be responsible for creating at least three topics with three subtopics on each topic chosen then writing a paragraph using the information created by the student.

The following is what to expect. This will be a cumulative historical essay based on the all student have learned this year in 6^th grade ancient history.  Starting with Geography, Ancient Man (Science versus Religion), Mesopotamia, Egypt (the Israelites or Jews), India, Greece and Rome

• The program will be on a timer and will go in chronological order, starting with Geography and ending with the Roman Empire
• Using the PowerPoint program, there will be a display on the board pertaining to each of the civilization we have studies this year.
• Students will look at what is displayed then using prior knowledge to come up with a:
  • Brainstorm topics within 15 to 20 seconds
  • At least 3 topics
  • Created at least 3 sub topics describing their main topics
  • Figure out a compare and contrast
  • Then write a 1 paragraph essay before the 3 minutes are up
  • The PowerPoint will have a sound queue for the next question.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE FINAL.

All students must review their 6^th grade social studies book on a daily basis.  I am not requiring you to reread the entire book again, but review and look at all of the pages pertaining to the chapters we as a class have done since the beginning of the year.  

 There is a lot of information in your head that has been learned this year, and for all of my students who have been paying attention, you will have no problem starting and finishing this in class essay.   Students who have not been doing their responsible work, and preparing by reviewing their social studies book will have a difficult time completing this test.  SO REVIEW YOUR BOOK EVERY DAY!

There will be no introduction or conclusion in this final essay. The main purpose is your ability to identify what is being displayed or asked in the PowerPoint program.  For the vast majority of you this will not be a difficult thing to do.  All of you need to trust yourself, because you will do fine.  It is only a small number of you who will have a difficult time completing this essay, only because you are not prepared.

 

For all of my students who are preparing as I have asked you to, again TRUST yourself, you will do a good job I promise. I have not lied to you this entire year and will not start now.  Believe me when I say you will do a good job.

Well my little chickadees, 

 

Time is running short extremely fast. There is only 39/40 days left before our end of the year final. Can you believe this?

 

 Anyways all of you should be getting ready by reviewing all of the chapters we have gone over this year, including the chapters on Rome.

 

All of you who do, on a daily basis what I asked you to do, will do extremely well on the final.  On another point, I have a lot of students with C’s, D’s and F’s.  This should not be the case.  

 

Everyone should have no less than an A- period, but some of you have not turned in many assignments.    This will not fix itself, all of you who are missing assignments have until June 7th to turn it in for full credit.  No missed assignments will be accepted after this deadline.

 

Those missing work can come into my classroom every day during lunch, after school, or during PAWS. This is your responsibility to complete.  MISSING ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT FIX ITSELF.  I have to input the information for that to happen.

 

THIS WEEK April 29/30 to May 3

we will continue and finish TimeLifes documentary on Ancient Greece, then take in class quiz.

 

Once video is completed I will be telling sone Ancient Greek myths

1 How the Gods Came to be

2. How Athena was born

3. How Athens got its name

4. Icarus and Daedalus

 

Finally we will be seeing the 1980 motion picture of Perseus a Demi god son of Zeus in “Clash of the Titans”

To all of my wonderful 6th Grade students,

 

We are now starting out 3rd week of school.  My Oh my time is just flying by!!!!

 

At this point all of us should be well on our way starting and completing the first in class assignment the 7 Continent and oceans map.  I promise all of you that by the end of the school year, all of you will be expert map makers.  Have faith and confidence in yourself in accomplishing this endeavor.  All of you will succeed I promise.

 

What’s happening the week of September 10 to the 14th?

 

On Monday we will devote this stack day to your first homework assignment, or chapter 1. "Introduction into World History."  We will go over the do's and don’ts of what is expected of you, for the rest of the school year.

All of the chapters we will be doing this year will be the same type of work.  Nothing will change pertaining to how this work is to be done.

 

Students, we will go over the first two lesson in class, so don't freak out.  I will teach you what you need to accomplish to finish all of the annotations you will be doing this year.  There are a total of four lessons in this chapter, and they are;

Chapter 1
Introduction to World History

Lesson 1 The World's Geography

Lesson 2 How Maps Help Us Study History

Lesson 3  How Archaeologists Study the Past

Lesson 4 How Historian Study the Past

 

 

On Tuesday through Friday,

 

The class will focus on completing and finishing the 7 continent and Ocean map making.  If you work on completing your map in the time given, all of you should finish.  If those students who don't use their time wisely, then of course you will not finish in the time given.  If that happens all student who do not finish will receive a "0," until they finish the map then show it to me for credit.

 

No map can be taken home to complete, until I have corrected it in class.  Remember that I am in my class everyday during lunch, on Tuesday, and Thursday, during PAWS, and after school on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday's.  

 

After school, I'm usually here till at least 3 or 4 p.m., unless I have a doctor’s appointment or no one comes to class.

 

 

 

If any of this information is unclear please call or text me, for more information.  Have a relaxing weekend!
