Hunters and Gathers

The new topic is hunter and gathers! We have started on Chapter 1 p 6-9. We have done an outline,vocabulary, questions and the students were able to use the outline they created on today's quiz. Many students were amazed about how easy the quiz was today. They were surprised how an outline can help you study. The only class that didn't take the quiz was sixth period. Sixth period is about half a class behind. They will take their quiz tomorrow(9/19) with their outline.
The students will be given their quizzes to take home tomorrow. The grade will be on the weekly reports for all periods except sixth period. These reports will also have Introduction to Geography test. All students will be given a progress report tomorrow from Social Studies only.
