Humanities - MILLER - C/F/G

8th blog 1-23

ACTIVITIES:

BLOCK C, G, and F: Today students worked with the last chapter in our Ancient Americas textbook. We talked again about the Incans and students created cartoons about specific sections in the textbook. Each cartoon needs to have at least a word or sentence in each square, as well as a picture/drawing. Most students finished this in class. However, if they did not finish it in class they need to finish it before our next regular class period next week (which means, complete it after the exams are finished this weekend). You can find the assignment here: IncanCartoon.pdf


HOMEWORK FOR BLOCKS C, G, F:

1) Study for Mid-term Exams! You should have been studying a little bit each day for the past couple weeks – reviewing the material of the past semester. The midterm review guide is found here: Midtermstudyguide.doc

2) If you did not finish the Incan cartoon, finish it before class next week (which means complete it after the exams are finished this weekend). You can find the assignment here: IncanCartoon.pdf

Compliments

In Coach Matlock's classes, the students have been working hard to improve their fitness levels to include Mariam Zaky, Nasser Al Rayyes, Dalia Helmi, Youssef Mansour, Omar El Saka, Rania Elkon and Fajer Al-Sumait.

The students started with a simple 250 meter run in October and now are quite capable of running 1,300-1,600 meters on a daily basis. Superb efforts at improving your health!

Midterms

Review

Many of you have stopped in to ask additional questions about your midterms or to make a copy of past essays. I am proud of the planning many of you are showing. Please take Ms. Kit's advice from today's assembly seriously.
1. Get plenty of sleep.
2. Eat a good breakfast.
3. Drink plenty of water.
4. Plan your studying so that it is spread out into 30 minute increments with breaks inbetween. Cramming will not help you to improve but longterm studying will.
5. Check with me or your other teachers if you have any questions unanswered tomorrow.
6. VISUALIZE yourself performing well on your midterms. Be confident!

Homework
A,C: Read p. 409-415, Answer ?'s #1-7 on p. 415. I will not be collecting this until after midterms but if you would like to get a headstart, please feel free to do so.
