Week of May 11th
We are continuing our reading of Son, and we are in the last section of the book! Today students finished their outlines on the article we read about John F. Kennedy's goals and assassination. We began a partner reading activity about Lyndon B. Johnson today. Students worked with a partner to find information about LBJ's influences and actions.
Students are also continuing to work on their Exhibition research and this week they will write their central ideas. Next week they will assemble their presentations and practice the verbal presentation portion of their projects.
Mrs. Smith talked to the students about summer reading. Please click on the picture below to access all of the resources she's assembled to help students and parents.
Lastly, several students will be retaking the Cold War assessment on Friday. I revised the test to not include an essay question and I've posted what to study on the board and in Edmodo.
