This is the Classroom Blog - you will log-in to this site each day when you arrive.


(Monday’s ) - these are shorter days the bell schedule changes on Monday’s. Monday’s are known as Mapping and Current Event Monday’s. Each Monday you will search and write a summary about two current events. There is a Current Events Template that you will use to write-up your current event story.
In addition, you will establish a MyMaps (from mymaps.google.com) world map to place the location of your current event.

(Tuesday's-Friday's) you will copy the journal question of the day into a Google Doc (titled Journal Entries) You will write a response to the journal question (you'll have approx 5 mins to do this). We will have a class discussion about the journal subject and hear different perspectives in regards to the issue presented. After this warm-up activity we will proceed with the schedule of the day
