October 17-18  Rough Draft Sketch of your creation
October 19-20  Paper rough draft for peer review

Project Due October 24-25

This week you will be introduced to your project.  The assignment sheet has been updated and can be found in the handouts section.  You must pick a topic next class.  We will be in the library Thursday and Friday.

Please bring your book to class this week.

Midpoint Tests will take place this week.  EVEN students will take their test Wednesday and ODD students will take their test Thursday.  I will post the answers to the study guide on the website Tuesday evening.  Folder checks will also take place the same day as your midpoint test.  Make sure your folders are ready. 

By now, we've met a few times in class and completed a few assignments.  This week we will start taking notes.  You will also need to bring your book to class every day this week--so be prepared!

Expect a vocabulary quiz coming up and a test soon. 

Don't forget to bring in your progress reports for a homework pass.  I must recieve all odd day student's reports tomorrow and even day student's reports Tuesday.  I will not accept them late!

Block 3:  Your projects will now be due on Friday March 11th.  We will also wait and take the mid-quarter assessment on this date.  I believe you will need the time to give your mind a break!

Our caste system simulation will take next Monday and Tuesday.  Please try to be present.  This is an experience that cannot be made up. 

The key for your Midterm Study Guide is now in the handouts section under Mambo #5!

Good luck and PLEASE STUDY!!!!
