Homework 9/22 & 23

I'm going to try posting our homework assignments here periodically and see how it goes.

• Complete Ch 22 Setting the Stage blue worksheet
• Provide the names only for the green Who Are They? sheet
• Get your progress report signed
• bring colored pencils

We also completed a folder and notebook check in most classes.

Ch 20 & 21 Tests can be retaken with a one grade deduction within one week. See me for details.

Remembering 9/11

Eight years later we find ourselves again reflecting on the terrible attacks of September 11th and their aftermath. We'll be reading and discussing the events of the day. Some classes may also watch this excellent video from Newsweek about Generation 9/11.
