Finishing presentations and Final Review

We still have a few remaining presentations for the Middle Ages next week. We have also started reviewing for exams. Please take time to gather your materials, review the blog postings and organize your outlines for the final exam.

Remember to connect each example to the topic clearly. It is important for you to "fill in the holes" for your reader; do not expect them to make the connection themselves.

Presentations and Final Review

Wow! I am so pleased with your final presentations for the year. Many of you have astounded me with the level of creativity, research and passion you've brought to these projects. Those of you who found a way to show your strengths with this project- take this knowledge with you into 9th grade. Find a way to love your learning. :)

Our visits from Suleiman the Magnificent and Saladin, breaking news on Theodora and Justinian, lively lessons on the Black Death, medical journals, Queen Elizabeth and Clovis I's personal diaries, Minecraft journeys through the life of a viking and knight, a ventriloquist lesson on the serfs, etc. have been both educational and entertaining. Keep up the great work!

We will continue presentations tomorrow for A, C, and G blocks. We will also begin reviewing. If you have already printed off the review guide, please bring it with you to class.

Math - Mr. Al Blocks A and B

Sunday, May 20th

Today was our last day of new instruction for the school year. After today emphasis will be on reviewing for your math final on June 4th.

We went over triangles, circles, rectangles in terms of perimeter and area. We spoke of surface area (SA) as the covering of the cylinder or rectangular prism. It is the amount of paper you would need to exactly cover an object without overlaps or gaps. Area is always measured in square units.

Volume, is the amount of cubes it would take to fill the inside of an object exactly. volume is always measured in cubic units.

HOMEWORK: Pages 262-268 cover volume of many shapes. You were given worksheets last week which also allow practice on volume. Do some of these problems, come back with questions on those you don't understand.
