TESTS TOMORROW
Bible History and C&E- do not forget your test!
BH- Chapters 3-6. If you haven’t read it, why? That will help you be successful! Review questions and cultural connections lists.
C&E- Review all goal 2 notes and graphic organizers. Don’t forget you can find the G2 PPT by searching the presentations tab. You may also want to take a look at the chapters dealing with the three branches.
Also, don’t forget how much People Like Sticky Chicken Fingers—the Principles and examples! ESPECIALLY Chicken (checks and balances)!!!!
TESTS this week!
Bible History: Tomorrow! 30ish multiple choice questions and the essay. Remember you can use hand-written notes for the essay. I want a well though out compare/contrast. Please open up! You guys need to speak up and TALK MORE. (BTW, that is ONLY for Bible. The other two classes are doing OK most of the time and when not, I certainly don’t need you talking more!)
Law and Justice: Amendments test TOMORROW. I haven’t made it yet so I can’t tell you how many questions. You know for a fact it will be at least 27! You will have to match each amendment to it’s description and you will likely have to match the amendment to the scenario. (Very similar to the Interpreting the Bill of Rights activity we did in class today.)
Honors Civics: Your goal 1 test is still on for Thursday, with the formative on Friday. Be reviewing your notes! Even though we had a separate test on the colonies, anything in goal 1 is fair game!
Bible History: TEST WEDNESDAY 9/7
Review all video guides and post-viewing quizzes. Review all vocabulary, given in notes and handouts. Read all handouts. Really review everything in bold and graphics. Be able to compare/contrast Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This will be your writing prompt!
Bible History Homework
I told you I would post the questions, but I don’t have the orange lit book at home. Ooops, I will take care of that tomorrow. My desire was for you to focus on the second question and write the Abraham/Isaac sacrifice story from the perspective of Isaac. Nothing fancy or long. Remember, I stop reading at page three, so one or two is just fine. The first option was to journal about a life changing decision you have had to make and how it impacted you later. That’s pretty personal, so choose what you are most comfortable with.
