Tuesday 3/17/20

Classwork:

Read Chapter 9, Section 4 (if you have not already)

Read and become familiar with the method of research we will be using for the Spring Research Project.

See the documents below.

If you have chosen a research topic and are ready to research, you can begin to learn about your topic.  Remember to fill out a source card for each source you use.  A source is a book (online or real), online article or site, encyclopedia, and other.  Be sure to note what specific source your information is coming from.  This will be very important for your citations as you begin to write your paper. 

Homework:

Choose a research topic from the list given on the Spring Research Project list.  DUE TOMORROW 3/18.

Continue to work on Chapter 9 Study Guide. Due FRIDAY 3/20

Update from Mr. Hernandez

Happy Monday!

First, thank you for checking my Edlio page this week!  I am currently trying to make this transition as easy as possible for all of us.  I hope to find more ways to connect with students online to make your “class” experience more engaging and enjoyable.  Please continue to work with Edlio as much as possible, it will be the main point of reference from this point on. See below for today's work.

There are a few major points moving forward that:

  1. All exams have been postponed until further notice, but the Study Guides will still be posted and are to be completed by the given due dates.
  2. We will be beginning our Spring Research Project this week (Directions have been posted)
  3. All Passport Projects have been postponed.
  4. The Manor Diorama Project has been cancelled (Period 2)

Remember that I will be available during school hours via email.  I will try to respond to emails within 24 hours.

This too, shall pass.  I promise that we will get through 7th grade social studies just fine, if we do it together.

Miss you guys already,

Mr. Hernandez
