Review all your handouts for this semester and pages 151-161.

     Basic geography of West Africa (map)

     Questions 3, 4, 5 on page 154

     Leccion 2 fill in the blanks. 

 

****Moving quiz to Wednesday because I don't want to give the quiz with the sub.  Sorry for late notice.

 

 

 

We will be starting a new unit this Tuesday/Wednesday, Africa Occidental.

 

In preparation, students should read 151 - 154 and answer 3, 4, and 5 on page 154. 

 

Today in class they got a handout to complete it. (Back side of the CCN 10 for 1/7)

 

 

 

 

 

Students may choose 1 extra credit opportunity.  I am still working on the other two handouts, but for planning purposes.  Please see the attached handout.

 

Reminder this is NOT mandatory and it is worth 10 points. 

Also, parents are welcomed to join and, as a disclaimer, this is not a CCUSD sponsor activity.

 

I think this is a great learning opportunity, so I hope that all of my students will consider it. 

 

The mosque visit was such a joy!  But for those that were unable to join, attached you will find the two final extra credit opportunities for the semester.  They are NOT closely related to topics covered in class, but they can be studied through a social science lense.  The movies are good, but require parental consent.  (They are both rated PG)  I recommend that a parent watch the movie first and decide if it is the right choice for his/her student (or at least read the reviews and recommendations).

 

I am considering having a viewing party this Friday at 2pm in my classroom (for McFarland, USA).  Please let me know if you would be interested so I can decide if it makes sense.  If there's enough interest I will let you know and please make sure to have your student come with a signed handout.

 

The semester ends this Friday, but I get a few days in January to submit grades so I will accept these extra credit assignments on Monday, January 7.  (One per student)

 

----

Lastly, I want to say thank you for an amazing semester of hard work and for all your generosity.  I am so grateful to say that this year I've had to buy zero boxes of kleenex and I still have some color paper to print on!!  Also, thank you for all your support, honesty and kindness.  I have an amazing group of 7th graders and awesome parents behind the scenes.  

 

Special thanks for all the little extras, your holiday wishes and presents, allowing kiddos to work at your home on group projects, sharing delicious pan de muertos, teaching the traditions of Hanukkah in the classroom, sharing your books and resources on Islam and West Africa with me.  And all the other things I know I am missing, but that I am truly grateful for!!  I am really lucky to work with you all.

 

Study hard for your socratic seminar and Islam Unit Test and have a great Winter Break!
