7th grade project update and upcoming test

Parents and Students:

 

I have changed the due dates of the nonfiction reading projects to give students a little more time to complete the work.  I have also added a few class times to work on the project. 

 

Books need to be read in full and the 6 main ideas and 20 glossary words completed by NOVEMBER 29

I will give a FULL 80 minute period as a “work day” for the projects on NOVEMBER 29

Projects will be checked and graded with an expectation of being “half done” on NOVEMBER 30

I will give a HALF class (40 minutes total) for explanation and work on the Google Forms Quiz on DECEMBER 2

I will give a FULL 80 minute period as a “work day” on DECEMBER 7

Completed projects and quizzes need to be brought to class for assessment and presenting on DECEMBER 9

 

All details of the projects and quiz are on a bright yellow sheet in your child’s binder. 

 

The amount of time necessary for kids to do a high quality job on this project is much more than the time they will be given in class.  Please encourage your child to take advantage of after school study and the available work time in the evenings at our FHGS library. 

 

Thanks! 

 

ADDITIONALLY, please be aware that we have come to the end of our third set of vocabulary.  There will be reviews in class (possibly homework as well), but students will need to STUDY outside of class as well.  The test will be on Monday the 21st
