New Week Beginning Feb 22nd

Sociology: Students will be writing from memory the poem by Robert Frost "Nothing Gold Can Stay"
                  They will also explain in writing what the poem means. (interpretation)
                  This grade will be taken on Feb. 23rd during 6th Period.
                  If your student misses this assignment, they will need to make it up after school.
                  (3 day time limit to make up)
We enjoyed Simon Birch's story and  how his size made him perfect to complete God's plan.
We will have a discussion about Simon and talk about other times a people have used their differences to fulfill God's plan.
Our next social issue will be have a scientific crossover.  It is about the importance of the CDC, their job and how they come together in times of crisis. We'll explore this through the story of the Ebola virus in a story called Outbreak.


7th/8th Grade World History
I have prepared an outline for students for Chapter 13. Last week we gained valuable background knowledge of the Crusades and the Plague. Now, students will create a dynamic Keynote presentation for each section of this Chapter. Strict criteria will be required from students. The final productions will be turned into a final presentation and shared with other teachers, students and parents.  I will help them each step of the way. If a student has his/her own Mac, it would be helpful if they could bring it to school during this project. I will keep the computers in my room at all times behind my desk until the end of the day. If your student would rather use a PC and has powerpoint installed on his computer, this will be fine as well.
We have 19 computers, but the entire school shares them, I just want to be certain everyone has a computer.  I will not permit any other student to touch your child's computer in my class. 
Those who do not have computers, we will try to reserve the computers each day until this project is finished. It is so important that you bring your jump drive or blank disk during this project. 
Some of you have these things in my classroom. 
Thanks, 
Ms. Ronna
