We had a WONDERFUL time on our Field Trip to Andersonville and Plains. The students were awesome that day and we had such a good time! Even Mrs. Williams, our guide in Plains, commented on how well behaved the students were and how engaged they were with the tour! THANK YOU 8th GRADE!!
This week, we will be going over chapter 11. This is a short chapter on life in Georgia before the Civil War. Because of time constraints, we will not have a test on this, but the material WILL BE on the midterm. Students received their midterm review packets on Friday. We will quickly go over these and I will answer any questions on Wednesday in class. If students have any questions about anything in the packet, plese have them come see me to get an explanation.
On Thursday, we will begin our presenations on their projects. I am looking forward to these! If you have any questions on the project, please let me know.
The Georgia History midterm will be given in the first exam period on Friday, December 17. Students are not allowed to leav until the exam period is over at 10:00. The Georgia History midterm will be matching, true/false, fill in the blank, and short answer. There will also be 8 discussion questions, of which they choose 3 to answer. The students have already gotten the 8 questions. There are bonus oppotunities on the midterm. Students can turn in 2 Famous Georgians for two points each and can list as many county/county seats as they can and get up to ten points.
