For most of today's class I went over how to write a Part A In-Class Writing Assignment that requires you to analysis and interpret three sources. I've posted the notes that I wrote on the board into the wiki, look for it under Part A In-Class Writing Assignments. I gave you some upcoming important dates as well today (please see below). You have a Chapter 3-4 Quiz next Thursday (October 2nd), I'm posting the study guide below.

Social 10-1

We finished watching "Bend It Like Beckham" today in class. You must hand in the film study sheet that goes with the film on Monday, September 29th. Also on Monday, you have your Chapter 5 Key Terms and Questions due. You also have your Unit 1 Part A In-Class Writing Assignment on the 29th. I have sent you an invite to contribute to a VoiceThread that will give you some practice in analyzing sources. It's linked into the wiki, so it will update automatically in the wiki (look for it under Part A In-Class Writing Assignments). Speaking of the wiki, I've added some topic pages under Collaborative Notes that need to be filled in, if you're feeling ambitious, you could help out your classmates by contributing your notes and ideas. Please remember that you have your Chapter 3-4 Quiz tomorrow. Please click on this link for the study guide.
