Social
Studies Homework for the Week of May 12, 2008:
Ø This week we are
finishing up our presentations of Latin America and will begin our study of
Reading Homework for the Week of May 13, 2008:
Ø
Students are reading a biography of their choice in
class and will create a final project of their choice. We have figured out the number of pages they
need to read each day to complete their books by Thursday. If they are not able to accomplish this, they
are to complete it for homework. As they
read, they are completing a web of their person’s life. The final project is to create a visual
display of their book. Some ideas might
be a timeline, collage, poster, display board, advertisement (print or
multimedia), diorama or other model, book jacket, “scrapbook” of their
life.
Ø
Students will write a list of 10 “interview” questions
they would like to ask the person if they had a chance to meet with them.
Ø
Students will answer the following question using
TTQA: What is one problem your person has had to overcome, and how did he/she
resolve the problem? Would you have done
the same thing if you were in that situation?
Why or why not?
