Week before Thanksgiving

American Government students took a quiz over Article II and III today and will spend the rest of the week preparing for Monday's Constitution Exam. They received a green handout on Monday that is the most detailed review guide I have available.

Sociology students are studying social stratification this week and will plan to have a quiz on Friday 11/20.

Have a great week!

November 11 posting

I have been extremely busy this week - working on lesson plans for the rest of the semester. In American Government we are finishing the Executive Branch and starting on the Judicial on Thursday. We will have an assignment on the Judicial Branch in class on Friday.

In Sociology - we are starting our new unit on social stratification. We have an assignment in class on both Wednesday and Friday. Friday's assignment involves an article so you will have to see me to get a copy of that.

Remember - US Constitution exam will be in class on November 23, 2009. Government students have all kinds of notes at this point that they can be reviewing. We will hand out a written review early next week. This test requires a 70% or higher to pass.

Have a great week!

First week of November

People - I am soooo sad daylight savings time is over. Now it will be dark when school dismisses!

This week in American Government we are taking a quiz on Tuesday over the Legislative Branch. We will spend the rest of the week on the Executive Branch with an assignment on Friday. Remember - US Constitution Exam is scheduled for NOVEMBER 23, 2009.

Sociology is finally completing the Socialization Unit and taking a large test on Thursday, November 5th. Review guides will also be due that day as well. I encourage those students to take it seriously and actually put some study time in as it has been a lengthy unit and there was a LOT of information covered.
