Small class

Today we had stellar attendance thanks to bubble tea and chapel. Brian missed his devotion.With half the class gone, Mrs. Loconte got us into South Africa. I was only there when we talked about its background and apartheid, but I'm sure more was discussed. Tomorrow we will finalize our debate arguments with our teams and get instruction from Mrs. Loconte on how to structure them. The debate has been moved from tomorrow to Thursday.

Homework:

• Read section on South Africa (pg. 292-305) and answer 1-6 on page 305 for a homework check tomorrow.
• Have research for debate completed for tomorrow.
• Debate is on THURSDAY now.

Today we listened to Amy's devotion, did a homework check (it's actually #6 not #1), and worked for 15 minutes on our debate sides.


Tonight's homework: spend 30-60 minutes preparing notes for your side

Have fun :]

Hi!

Today in class, Mrs Loconte decided that we would have a debate over the problems in Africa and to pinpoint whose fault it is. After that we learnt the many different rules on Debate from Mrs.Loconte and reviewed the homework questions afterwards.



Tonight's homework

Do question #1 on page 309

Happy Friday

Today we finished up the Cold War by taking a test on the end of the Cold War. We also were given a chance to work on homework which will be listed below.





Today’s Homework:

Daily Memes:
No memes today :(

Happy 18th Birthday Amy!

Today in class during first block we reviewed the homework questions from the night before. Mrs. Loconte also showed us a few short video clips which explained where Russia is as a country today. During second block we finished the last 2 sections of the chapter (p.228-238) outside in the sunshine. We did not complete the two sets of textbook questions for the readings we read and these are not homework, but may be good practice for the test. We ended the class by filling in the review sheets Mrs. Loconte gave us.

Tonight's Homework: Chapter 7 Test (The End of the cold War) tomorrow! 

Other things to note: Amy & Deirdre, your oral presentations are due at the start of next week (Monday?)

Bring the marble jar!

Today we watched Gorbachev's stunning performance for Pizza Hut and a news report from when the Berlin Wall came down. We reviewed yesterday's homework questions about Gorbachev's reforms and the reunification of Germany. Then we listened as Nathan read to us about Yeltsin and the Moscow Coup.

Homework, cause that's what you're here for:

-Finish reading from where we left off up to page 228 in Twentieth Century Viewpoints. Answer 1-5 on page 228. Check out the map on page 227 and skip the Russia Today section, because that's old news now.
-Chapter 7 test is on Friday. It will be a strange, never before attempted, glasnost-esque test. Basically, we have no details, so study.
-Oral reports from Amy, Deirdre, and Dylan due next week.


Poor Gorbachev...

i want to go home

Today we listened to April and Brian's oral presentations on denazification and the secretary general. We also watched a few videos and went over last night's homework.
