We finished the chapter on the Russian Revolution today. Students worked on finishing the map questions on page 564, the section 3 questions on page 568 and the Chapter Review questions on page 570-571.
The date for the Russian Revolution test will be Thursday, May 12 - which means you have over a week to study for this test.
I handed out the test outline and have uploaded it to this page for anyone not in class today. I also uploaded the notes for the chapter as well.

We began the new (and final) unit for this year, Romeo and Juliet. Students looked at The Prologue, and for most students, it was their first piece of Shakespearean writing. We worked at translating this line by line into modern English and you all did a great job!
I then handed out the first assignment. This is on some of the historical family feuds. Students were broken up into groups and assigned roles and tasks to complete this project. We discussed a due date and because of the short week this week and the Drama Festival next week, we decided on Wednesday, May 18 to start the presentations. Each group will research the information on their assigned families and present/teach what they have learned to their peers.
ALL work will be completed here at school.

Please finish your final essay for The Outsiders for Monday. Most students finished this week in the lab (3 days given) but some didn't get them all done today.
PLEASE finish these over your extra long weekend because we are starting a new unit on Monday and we are moving right in to a new assignment.
