Homework - Week of November 26th

Friday, November 30th

Reading:
Students should spend at least 30 minutes reading each day this weekend.

Thursday, November 29th

Social Studies: 

P. 123 Questions 1-7.  This should be turned in Friday.  

Wednesday, November 28th

Social Studies: 

6A: P. 123 Questions 1-7.  This will be assigned to 6B on Thursday night. 

Writing:

6A: Write a one page letter, story, explanation, essay (you decide!) outlining what it takes for you to be a better student.  Emphasis is on volume control, managing your behaviors in class, during transition, in and out of recess, and respecting your classmates. 

Reminder:

I am still accepting all late work!  Don't think that because you didn't turn it in on time, it's too late.  It's not!  It's much better to lose a letter grade because it's late than getting an F!

Tuesday, November 27th

Social Studies: 
Letter writing - write a letter from Ariadne to Theseus to ask and convince him to come to Crete and slay the Minotaur. Make sure your letter reflects the personalities and past histories of both characters.  This should be about one page in length.

Remember, you are not retelling the story that you saw today in class. Rather, you are coming up with your version of how the story would go.  It might be easiest to think about  Ariadne writing the letter from Crete.  Perhaps they have never met (or have they?).  Maybe she only heard about him through stories.

Writing:
Many students have not yet turned in their review of Literature (aka the answers to the essential questions).  For every day it is late, it will be lowered 5%.  It will not be considered late if it is emailed to me by the end of day today.  My email address is kresh@cps.edu.
