Today in 6A!

ENGLISH: Using the guidelines from yesterday's peer editing session, we continued with that effort today. There did seem to be a bit of confusion as to how long the essays were tobe. If the directions say 2-3 pages, that means 2 full pages minimum to 3 full pages maximum. There are students struggling with both ends of this limit. If you find yourself with not enough material. Do some more research and add a section, or add more analysis to your research. Give me more reasons why the existing evidence supports your claim. If your essay is too long, consider rephrasing sections in a more concise manner. Or eliminate sections all together.

SOCIAL STUDIES: We finished our last lesson of our Greek unit which covered notable achievements in academics. Significant minds like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are persons that students should be familiar with. Homework for this section is on Page 433 #1, 2, 4, 5. 
While I haven't assigned specific review questions (coming Monday) students have had all lessons already and should spend time each day this weekend reviewing their homework in order to prepare for Wednesday's test.
