Thursday, October 4, 2018

If you have not paid for the 8th grade field trip (9/26) to the NC History Museum, please pay through the Orgs Online system.  We sent reminder emails to parents who still need to submit payment.  Thanks so much!  

Social Studies:  James Madison Independent Study.  After watching the two introductory videos in class today you should have started your research.

Create a Google Doc where you answer the following questions:

A.  Who was James Madison
B.  Why is he called the architect of the U.S. Constitution?
C.  What was his process?
D.  Who influenced his writing and what influenced his writing?

You should cite a minimum of 3 sources (copy and paste the website links) to your google doc.
NO WIKI!

Your answers to the questions should be posted using bullet points.  DO NOT WRITE PARAGRAPHS!

EX:  A.  Who was James Madison?
         * close friend of Thomas Jefferson
         * 4th U.S. President

Work on this tonight and in tomorrow's class after the test.  This will be the first graded assignment for Quarter 2.

ELA: 4th & 5th periods only: Finish reading Ch. 9 and complete discussion questions (see Google Classroom).

Math: No newly assigned homework. End of quarter is tomorrow!!! All assignments need to be turned in by hand or submitted online.

Science:  Study for your science quiz.  Use Monday's blog post to see review links, class notes, and practice quizzes.  End of quarter is tomorrow.  Finish any incomplete assignments (if this applies to you).
