Send me an email at: jchs.ib@gmail.com for your group's SPRITE list. We will post it on the Smart board and it will work faster I think and we can complete working on it with greater insight. Send it in Microsoft Word please. If you wish, you can come to my room during lunch for studying. This works great if you cannot meet with anyone after school. Groups can all do the SPRITE (each member do all), then compare notes with each other while you discuss what each person had for the SPRITE. This encourages discussion between study members. Just a fast reminder, one student began to use SPRITE and increased his grade by 20 points! It does work!!! I have a microwave if you need one, just brown bag lunch one day (your group) and study!
Next week there will be the map quizzes: South America, Central America, Canada and the Caribbean. You will need to name the countries and SPELL them correctly! Test will be on Tuesday!
We will also begin working on a class project as well as History Day (after Fall break). History day's final thesis will be due after Fall Break. We can also be smart and use your History Project for you Histography as well if you decide to do so. Both require reseach, so that will be discussed as well soon.
I want also everyone to bring a political cartoon/editorial to class on Friday for a grade. Be sure to include the name of the publication, date of publication, a paragraph explaining the premise of the cartoon AND a SPRITE break down (is it politcal, religion, intellectual, etc..)
Remember to send your Word file, study for the map tests, DVD extra credit, and the politcal cartoon.
