Week of December 10, 2007: Practice Test Included!

This should be a good week!

On Monday and into part of Tuesday all classes will watch a video on the Black Death, which killed a third of Europe in the 1340s. Tuesday's homework will be to write a five sentence summary of the video. Our students, I have found, could use some practice in being concise, and hopefully this will help them in the endeavor.

Wednesday we will review for a Test on Chapter 13 in the Advanced and Comprehensive classes.

Wednesday night's homework for all classes is to study for their respective tests.

Advanced and Comprehensive classes will have their tests on Thursday.

Core will have their test on Chapter 26 Friday!

A Practice Test can be found HERE. Enjoy!
