Week of 11/20 - 11/22

This short week in social studies is all about building castles!  After three days for a practice build last week, students have gotten all new materials to start their final castle.  They will have the three days of this week to finalize and create their designs with their small groups.

Each student is graded on their daily participation (scores based on daily group evaluations and self evaluations) as well as the final product.  If a student is absent for a day, they will be excused from the participation score.  On Wednesday of this week, students will turn in their yellow castle packet for a final score. 

One last VERY IMPORTANT note . . . the last day to turn in late/missing work from this trimester is this Wednesday 11/22.  With the exception of the Chapter 2 Final Test and Ch. 2 Reading notes, all assignments must be completed and turned in by the end of this week to be scored for the final trimester grade.  All work we do next week will be included in the Trimester 2 grades.

Here is the breakdown for the week:

• Monday: Final Build Day 1 
• Get new materials 
• Begin building
• Tuesday: Final Build Day 2
• Wednesday: Final Final Build Day
• Finish castles
• Turn in Yellow Castle Packet
• Last day to turn in late/missing work
