Today in 6A & 6B

ENGLISH: Students continued their work on their argumentative essays. Today they finished their first drafts and shared their work with a classmate for peer editing. Most students were unable to complete their final draft in class and will therefore be homework. Students should be submitting all of their work in one single document (pre-writing, 1st draft with peer edits, final draft). I have set a deadline of midnight on Sunday for students to submit their work. Should they submit Monday morning, they will get a maximum grade of 70%. 

RELIGION: Students wrote their session 12 quiz today.

SOCIAL STUDIES: As a follow-up to yesterday's presentations, we looked at the interesting nature of the rise and fall of the Indus Valley Civilization. Not much is known about these people regarding their religion and government which remains a mystery for archaeologists. There are many inferences we can make and comparisons drawn to other ancient peoples, however significant gaps in knowledge regarding specifics remain unknown, and are still super cool to explore.
