Update for this Week

I had a wonderful time on the Outer Banks trip this week! It was great seeing the students learning in a such a positive environment.  Thanks to the parents who helped out and thanks especially to Mr. Tyson and Ms. Caudill for all their planning to make the day go smoothly.  

Since we had two days without classes this week there was some homework from our Forensic Anthropology reader.  No Reading Log was assigned this week. This is a reminder of the homework expectations that should be completed by Monday:

• Read the entire text, "Identifying the Victim, and circle new vocabulary words.
• Complete the Line #'s and Context Clues columns of the vocabulary sheet.
• Read the entire text a second time and annotate using the AVID Marking Text strategy:

• Circle names, dates, places, statistics, and new vocabulary words
• Underline details that support central idea (recurring images, supporting details, significant moments, text features, author’s purpose)
• Write in the margins any questions or confusions, clarifications, connections to the other texts, or other responses to what you are reading.
• Complete the Central Idea chart, listing the central idea of each section, and then one central idea for the entire article.
• 6th and 7th Periods: Write an objective summary of the article.

On Monday, we will read the final text of the Forensic Anthropology unit, "Giving Faces to the Lost." Please email me if you have any questions.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
