Tuesday, October 28th

  1. Daily Opener
  2. Read Finn Reardon
  3. Activity- Populism- see me to get the worksheet, we worked on individually, then with a partner, and finally discussed it as a class. We didn't turn it in but it will be part of your notebook grade this 6 weeks.
  4. Discussed the Industrial Revolution test that you will be having on Monday. I handed out the study guide and gave everyone a 3X5 notecard to use on the test. You can use both sides of the notecard but everything on it must be handwritten. You will have the entire period to take the test. It will be a combination of matching, multiple choice, and short answer.
  5. Worked on 'A' level task. Remember these are due on Monday.

**Remember parent conferences are Wednesday and Thursday. It is extra credit if your parents come and even more if you come with them.

Here is the study guide:
