Weekend Homework

6th Grade Social Studies:
-Writing organizer for River Project Narrative Checklist/Reminder (due Tuesday, Monday for extra credit)
-Remember to keep working on River Project independently as well--learning how to plan and budget time so you can complete your project in time is a great skill to practice!

7th and 8th Grade Social Studies:
-Complete APARTY document analysis organizer for the excerpt of George Mason's letter (due Tuesday, Monday for extra credit)
-Remember to try to give as much detail and explanation to each section as possible--look and think beyond the obvious, use the document to your advantage: context, context, context!!!
-I encourage those of you who are striving to practice and prepare for AD level work to avoid short-answers, but instead be as thorough as possible. The organizer is not a race, taking your time and practicing thorough document analysis will serve you well on our future projects and assessments.

Oceans Elective:
-Bring your sketch of a sea creature to class and be ready to start our pointillism paintings!!!

Math:
-Algebra 1, see post below
-Linear Equations: no HW unless you didn't meet lesson # requirements for the week

Everyone:
-Enjoy your weekend and please, please, please try to READ for 30-60 minutes per day (choice book, magazine, newspaper, anything--just read, it's good for you and your brain!)
