Mr. Johnston
Students tests were returned today and they are to get them signed and returned for tomorrow, April 17th.
We began our unit "The Glory that Was Greece" today and students recieved a list of the curricular outcomes, a map of the Aegean and surrounding lands, a reading entitled "Geography Shapes Greek Life," and the notes for Chapter 6. These handouts should be clipped into students' notebooks in that order.
Tonight's homework:
1. Read “Geography Shapes Greek Life”
2. Read pp.126-130 in textbook
3. Fill in map as directed on the back of handout.
4. Answer questions 2-5 that appear with map instructions on back of handout
Also, students have been forewarned that there may be a pop quiz at any time this week asking them to fill in a blank map relating to Greece.
