Assessment Update

I just graded students' Civil War vocabulary assessment.  For your reference, students worked in small groups to find definitions and write sentences for each word.   As a class, we discussed each word and shared the sentences.   Then, I wrote the assessment using those sentences.  Students were told this several times and reminded to study.   Unfortunately, more than half of the class earned 1s or 2s.  

Students who earned 1s are required to complete the assessment as homework.  It is due on Friday.

I also gave out the guidelines for the Reconstruction Opinion Essay and the Microorganism project.  PDFs of the documents are available on the sidebar.
