See your Hamilton Exit Slips for my comments back to you ; )  We continued our viewing of "The Presidents" video series while adding to our E.Q.s, C.Q.s, and the Political Parties packet...We finished the first episode and then viewed the second one as far as ~26:00.  (Available in classroom...)

We discussed Senator Barickman's 3rd hour visit (see details on U.S. post) and then we began end-of-unit review work by way of "The Presidents" DVD by the History Channel (episode 1 posted in Classroom) -- add to EQ and CQ pages and keep up with the new packet about political parties of our presidents...  Today we viewed until 41:43.

U.S. History

3rd hour listened to guest speaker Senator Barickman.  6th hour discussed his visit (they were given to option to attend 3rd hour with a permission slip from their 3rd hour teacher; this was a visit arranged by the Civics class and the only time of the day he was available) and then the remaining time was given to catch up with various history work and then, if time, other school work.  Back to our regularly scheduled program tomorrow!

We finished the Hebrew primary source Context & Lens work for a score -- if absent, see me to set up a time to make up this assessment.  We then moved on to our fourth and final Agri-culture case study -- the Maasai -- with a map handout, the reading aloud of the children's book "14 Cows for America," and then a guided webquest using the workpage and website linked into Google Classroom -- to be finished in class tomorrow.

See U.S. post about Senator Barickman tomorrow re permission slips and 3rd hour option.  Students worked in class today on a Context & Lens assessment score -- see me to set up a time to make up this work if you were absent.  Then, use the remaining 3 links (the bottom 3) in the "Trail of Tears" section in the stream for ~20 minutes to add to your E.Q. notes -- your choice where in those three links you spend your 20 minutes...some flex-work. ; )

U.S. History

Tomorrow 3rd hour will report directly to the cafeteria to hear IL Senator Barickman speak about state government; 6th hour was given to option to use a permission slip with their 3rd hour teacher today and then report to the cafeteria tomorrow in 3rd hour, handing to me their permission slip.  Today we began viewing "The Presidents" through ~33:00 while adding to our two E.Q.s and C.Q.s, also.  One additional item -- the "Simplified History of U.S. Presidents' Political Parties" -- pay careful attention to the typed info on that page as we add the presidents' names during the DVD.  The video is "The Presidents The History Channel 1789-1825."
