Week of February 3rd

7th Grade Social Studies

Students in 7th grade social studies will continue to research a battle from the American Revolution. Classes will work together to create comic strips using an iPad app called Comic Life to show what they know about the battles of the American Revolution. Students will then create video overlays describing the battles that were chosen, and attach the videos to their comic strips. We will create an interactive classroom timeline of the battles of the American Revolution using the student comic strips and videos. Students are encouraged to add to our list of online sources by sending me the link to reputable American Revolution websites. 

Homework: students should check their Edmodo account for this week's homework assignment (due Friday, February 7th). 

8th Grade Social Studies

Students in 8th grade social studies will be studying the Progressive Era this week. Students will take a closer look at the issues of the Progressive Era, and the people who helped to make changes. Students will gain an understanding of the importance of muckrakers, and the Progressive Era presidents. Students will be introduced to a word cloud app called, Visual Poetry, this week. Students will show what they know by applying their knowledge to the creation of a word cloud.
