Quick Looks at Great Books

We went over questions on The Old Man and the Sea and played a review game before taking our final test. Next week, we will play a review game over the entire year and then take our final exam. Review all that I went over that the exam would cover. Our game next week will be a thorough review.

Review this brief video on some of our literary terms.

Use your past study guides to review plots and names of characters. This exam will be a testimony to what you have learned this year!

Practical Public Speaking

We learned a lot today about a variety of musical instruments, miniature furniture, salsa, and garden vegetable cream cheese. We need to finish all of our demonstration speeches next week. (Also, Mark will be doing a manuscript speech with those.) This will be your final speech, so do your best to remember all that we have gone over and truly connect to your audience! Remember to give me the outline of your speech or email it to me. Also, if you would like extra credit, video and email me a persuasive speech lasting 4-6 minutes. You can convince or persuade about anything you wish. It does not have to be a serious or political issue.

American History

We finished our last two reports on Obama and Biden. Both students did an excellent job with lots of information. We reviewed Presidents 25-46 using flash cards and then took our test. You also had a page to list these Presidents in the order they served. Then we took our test on the states in the Union. (Identifying their location)

Here is a list of all the chapters in our history text, along with the numbers from the Chapter Review that you will need to know for the final exam. It will all be objective, and we will focus on only the most important points from each lesson.
