Week+Six

Week 6 Notes Latin--I will distribute Latin midterms from LNST test/quiz booklet to be administered at home when your student is ready. Our next quiz is on week 9. Students are doing very well memorizing vocabulary and understanding how to parse and translate. BBW-- IMPORTANT--For the remainder of the semester, students will alternate weeks to present their papers. ODD-NUMBERED WEEKS 7,9,11,13: JOSIAH BEN ROBINSON GABE EVEN-NUMBERED WEEKS 8,10,12,14 BEN ANDERSON PETER HALI SUSANNA WEEK 15--EVERYONE WILL PRESENT This is really necessary so that there is more time in class to present the lessons. All students will still have practice with presentation skills each week in natural science. BBW lesson 13--Students should not be key-wording from each sentence as in previous lessons. They have three distinct topic sentences for which they will collect pieces of evidences from throughout the entire source text in their BBW lesson. Think of this as a five paragraph expository essay that is missing the introduction and conclusion paragraphs. Some students may want to go ahead and attempt adding an introductory paragraph, although it is not yet required in the lessons. We briefly discussed the three main parts ( attention getter, bridge info, thesis) of a good introduction in class for those who want to go ahead and practice. Remember to number sentence openers for each paragraph so that the pattern can be seen. Geography--Draw and label Central America and Greater/Lesser Antilles from memory for week 7. New current events topic for week 8: Illegal drug trafficking in Central and South America. Socratic circles for current events and //It Couldn't Just Happen// went extremely well for week 6. Keep summarizing, bringing those thoughtful questions, and making connections between the reading and Biblical principles. Everyone's hard work is showing!!! In your service, Cara
