First full week of school: 9/11 - 15

During the first full week of Social Studies, we had two assignments we were working on: the Personal Pathway project and classroom expectations and routines. 

In the Pathway Project, students are working to create an artistic, thoughtful and creative poster that depicts different aspects of their lives, past and future, along a pathway.  Our objective with this project is to get to help me get to know students better, and to help them get to know each other better.  It is also designed to help students learn class and academic expectations, and to read and use a grading guide effectively.

Students will start with a brainstorm, which needs to be approved by Ms. Superneau.  The projects will be worked on mostly in class, however some students may need to work on them at home.  Monday 9/18 will be the last class period to work on the Pathways, and final drafts will be due Friday 9/22.

To the right, you will see the brainstorm sheet and the grading guide for the Pathway Project.












For class expectations and procedures, students will take notes on a presentation in class.  These will be completed and turned in Friday 9/15.  If a student missed a day of the presentation, both the Powerpoint, and note-taking handout is available in the "Worksheets & Handouts" link on the right side of the page. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
