Assignments due for the week of May 24th, 2021

Practical Public Speaking

Great job finishing almost all of the Persuasive speeches today! Next week, we will finish two speeches that we have left, and I will have the final grades done for everyone else. Make sure you have your notebook in class for our work next week. We will also have some videos to watch about the art of public speaking!

Quick Looks at Great Books

Review for your final exam next week by going over all that we have covered! 🙂 We reviewed your literary terms in class today, so you can study those from your notebook. Also review the characters and settings from the classics we have read this year. Next week in class, we will do a review game before our final test. Watch the following brief video to review some of our major literary terms as well as a brief recap of several of our key books.

A Tale of Two Cities Recap

The Count of Monte Cristo Recap

To Kill a Mockingbird Recap

No-Spin Economics

We took our test today on Chapters 1-13 from Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? We also went back to the quiz taken on the first day of class, What’s Your Economic IQ? Amazingly, students are familiar with many terms they did not know originally! We reviewed some economic principles that we will need to know for the final exam. The test will cover Maybury’s book, which was tested today. It will also cover Crash Course Economics videos 1-7 and 9-12. Review your handouts or watch the videos to review the basic principles. (Also review past quizzes and tests.) We will do a comprehensive game review before our final exam in class next week.

Adventures in American Literature

We completed our final test on The Giver by Lois Lowry in class today. Students were given a study guide to prepare for the final exam next week. It will cover what we have studied over the entire year, but the study guide tells you exactly what you need to study! Make sure you know the authors, settings, and characters of the three novels we have read together. Watch the following videos to review two of the three novels we read together.

The Scarlet Letter

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
