I have Cheat Sheet Study Guides, so see me if you need one.

Tuesday 03.08

HW

Please Read Chapters 9 and 10 in the OGT Book.  Then do the study test that I handed out in class.  Close your OGT books when you take the study test.  Just see where you are at.  Obviously I'm not grading for right and wrong effort.  You should just be trying to see if you are comfortable with the material.

Malcom X

HW
1st Period, sorry for the confusion getting you the blue OGT books.

Alright everyone in 1st and 10th, please read chapter 8 on economics.  Then, on paper, to turn in, please answer questions 1-10 at the end of Chapter 8, "Testing Your Knowledge." For a HW grade.

In Class today, we wrote briefly about "I have a Dream"
We discussed more events of the Civil Rights Movement, including MLK, women, Latinos, and Native Americans.

Friday 03/04

 
No Homework.

In Class:
We took 10 minutes to write an OGT free-response (essay).  Please refer to the Blue OGT Review Books and look at pp 18-21 to see what we did in class.  Write the essay, then, self-grade it after reading the other responses from the OGT book.  Hopefully you will have a clearer understanding of what the OGT graders are looking for.

Then, we watched some video clips about a few of the big events of the Civil Rights movement.  Refer to the powerpoint we went over in class.
There are a couple youtube links in the power point.  Make sure you click on them to learn about the person or event
