SOCIAL STUDIES

February 22, 2010

All classes are working on their technology projects. We've had two opportunities now to work on computers during class time to complete research for the storyboards that are due Thursday, February 25. The final power point project (on the flashdrive) is due on March 19th.

This project is a requirement by the State of Delaware for all middle school students. If this project is not turned in on March 19th, the student will receive a 50% for the project. Students were given a power point presentation and a packet of information about the project on January 5. I wanted to be sure the students had at least 6 weeks to complete their research for the storyboards. The power point project will only take 15-20 minutes to complete once the story board is approved. Student will have 3 weeks to complete the power point project once the storyboards are approved.

Students are studying Ancient Egypt in Chapter 3. This chapter will be read mostly for homework so we may have more class time for group discussions and activities.

FIELD TRIP ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26 TO THE MARYLAND SCIENCE CENTER.
