In class today, we discussed Zell Miller and the Atlanta Olympics. Class 2, since we will not meet again before the social studies CRCT, I have put the questions from the worksheet that we did in class at the bottom of this page. You don't have to answer the questions to turn in, just read the pages and go over the questions carefully. I have given out copies of a CRCT review on GA government. I will grade this as a quiz - so be sure and use you book to look up any answers that you are not certain of! Have a wonderful week-end.

Today in class we reviewed for CRCT's. We went over homework and began looking at the CRCT practice test that you took in class on Tuesday. We did a review sheet in class on GA citizenship and checks and balances in the government, checked homework on the Civil Rights movement and began to go over the physiographic regions of our state. Hopefully, you finished the worksheet in class and you have no homework! Classes that will meet tomorrow after CRCT's are 6, 3 and 2.
Presentations were finished today! I have been so impressed with all of the information that you included. Tests were returned. We did a quick review on the Paleo, Archaic, Mississippian and Woodland Indians and the beginning of European settlement. Homework: a quick worksheet on GA symbols (due Mon. - the word find is not required, it is for fun or frustration). Also, remember that your CH 12 sections 3 and 4 test is on Monday. I hope that you have a wonderful week-end!
We went over the Guided Reading for sections 1 and 2 at the beginning of class - then we took the test on sections 1 and 2. Section 4 presentations were given - and they were entertaining as well as informative! Homework is to complete the reading of CH 12 and do as much of the Guided Reading as possible. Remember that the second mini-test on sections 3 and 4 will be on Monday! Have a fun afternoon - see you tomorrow!
At the beginning of class we checked last night's CRCT review on GA geography. We then took the open note vocab quiz on CH 12 vocab. Section 2 presentations were next with a Guided Reading sheet for you to fill in from the presentation. Any remaining time in class was spent on completing sections 3 and 4 presentations. Remember the "mini-test" tomorrow on sections 1 and 2 of CH 12!
I did an "answer check" of the three articles on the economy that we worked on before Spring Break. Groups then worked on their presentations. Section 1 presented today while students took notes on a short outline. Homework: very short quiz reviewing CRCT material on GA geography and read one other section of Chapter 12 (your choice).
