Science –
Learning Goal: I am able to interpret and analyze
data to compare and contrast universe objects.
Universe Objects Presentation is due on Monday, 27 October.
In Dynamic Systems Science the students have been
doing research on 3 universe objects of their choosing. Some of their choices
are inner planets, outer planets, planets, stars, moons, black holes, dark
matter, galaxies, spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, irregular galaxies,
dwarf planets, comets, asteroids, rings, etc. They have had all week in class
to do their research, put all the results of their research on a GoogleDoc
shared with Coach Daniels which must include the MLA formatted citation for
their source. They choose one of their objects to become an expert and teach to
the class by doing a presentation due on Monday, 27 October. The format of the
presentation is of their choosing: a rap, a poster, a song, a poem, a Google
Presentation, a video, a poster, a painting, etc.

Social Studies –
This week we moved our focus to Mesopotamian culture. Students also spent some time analyzing a
primary source document from Mesopotamia – a mini autobiography from SARGON THE WORLD CONQUEROR. We discussed how important it is to
understand not only the main idea, but also what primary sources tell us about
their civilization and the author’s purpose and bias. We will have an open note-quiz next Thursday.
I have posted the notes for Mesopotamia on Edline. They
are available for students to make certain that they have everything they need.
Grades have been updated and are posted on the Parent/Student
Portal.
After school help is available in my room every Tuesday until 4:00
