Current Events

Your Family's History
  • Family Tree Worksheet (You can also use this for your autobiography project with Mrs. McQueen)
    If you're interested in genealogy and family trees, you may enjoy http://www.ancestry.com
  •  Family_Migration_Map.pdf
    Use your Family Tree to find out where your ancestors came from. Mark the cities/states they've lived in on the county, state and national maps. If you can find out from your parents or grandparents, trace where your ancestors immigrated from on the world map too.

    Just like on the Family Tree, try to complete it as thoroughly as you can, but don't worry if there are parts which you can't do. Some families may have lived in the same town/are for several generations. Some students may not be able to gather much information about anyone further back than their grandparents. But if you CAN find out more, do.

Chapter 19 Post Test (will be on desk) When students finish, they may take the Ch. 20 Pretest. The Post test is "open-note," they may use their notes, but not their returned homework assignments, not their books, and obviously not each other's notes or tests.) Second Hour has a seating chart on the lectern (try to keep Josh and Jeff apart).

3rd Hour (DRAWING)
Students should work silently on their drawings of the chairs set up around the room. If they think they are finished, they need to work on something else silently so that they do not disturb their classmates who are still working.

5th Hour (IND STUD)
Painting student Makayla Carter will be working on a backdrop for the Drill Squad or work on a watercolor "geo-scape."
If they come today, Photography students Katie Cogdill and Ally Kahl should work on notes, online quizzes, worksheets or uploading their pictures to Flickr in the graphics lab.

6th Hour (PAINTING)
Painting students should be completing one of the watercolor color theory charts which they began yesterday. Their paint, brushes and paper will be on the table in the Southwest corner of the room and examples will be on the board.
  
4th Hour (MS ART) 
First, students should read during DEAR: 11:23-11:43 
Half of them need to finish their 16 Square-Grid Value Self-Portraits. The others may do other homework QUIETLY, or they may free-draw- HOWEVER, whatever they draw should use shading and demonstrate that they can use values to make things seem like they are 3D.

7th Hour (YEARBOOK) 
Caption Writing Section Postest (will have on the island)
If they finish early, they may write captions for pictures in the yearbook on yearbookavenue.com in the graphics lab.

  • 5th Hr. Independent Study- I will try to touch base with Makayla Carter before I leave. She'll be working on a watercolor "geoscape."
  • 6th Hr. Painting- I will get an Art History video ready to go and write some questions/notes for them to take during the video on the board.
  • 7th Hr. Yearbook- Students should log on to yearbookavenue.com and may work in teams of 2 or three to write captions for pictures on the following pages; 05-06, 011, 012-013, and 014-015. Editor Christian Leisinger and Assistant Editor Danielle Jepsen may help students who need it, or may use the time as a study hall. Job number 00497, login names are last name, first initial ( example; "malloryt") and the password is "12dogs." Have students keep track of which captions they write, so that each caption can be graded.

Mallory Sub Lessons Mon. 9/19

  1. Civics- Current Events Worksheet (I will put it on the desk in the Civics room Friday). Rhonda will leave newspapers. The front half has to do with news in general, the back half has to do with the unit we're studying. If they have trouble, ask them to do the best that they can and to use their Ch.18 notes to help them if they need to. If they can't answer the last question, they may leave it blank. These are due at the end of the class period, please collect them.
  2. Civics-
  3. Drawing & Seeing- Students will h ave begun their first major drawing on Friday which they will continue working on today (Monday) AND tomorrow (Tues 9/20). If they have any questions, they should re-read  pp. 105-110 in out book. Another option for some students would be to work on their copies of the St. Jerome drawing on p.82 in our book (this should be done upside-down). 

  4. MS Art- DEAR time (silent reading) 11:29-11:49 PLEASE HAVE STUDENTS READ, SILENTLY
    Students may make whatever they'd like to in clay today. I suggest animals of figurines, but so long as it's school-appropriate, anything goes. Wednesday we will learn a new construction method and Friday will be our last day with clay.
    Clean-up is important. Please have kids put tools and clay away and wash their hands beginning at 12:27 or 12:30
    Please make sure the lid is securely on the barrel.


  5. Independent Study- Makayla Carter will work on her latest painting. Katie Cogdill and Ally Kahl may come to work on digital photography in the Yearbook Computer Lab, but probably not since they have Weight Training Mondays.

  6. Painting-
    Elsa, Kameren, and Rodolfo (maybe Pat) will finish working on their complementary-color portraits. Everyone else should complete the Art History Worksheet (on the island). This is due at the end of the class period. They need to share books and return the books to where they got them when they're finished with them.

  7. Yearbook- 
    YrBk I students should work on the Photo II Reading Guide for pp.92-97 Due at the end of class (I will have it on the island). 
    YrBk II students (Christian & Danielle) please work on Football and Volleyball pages or tag pictures on yearbookavenue.com
