Monday

Students began taking notes on 'Who Discovered America?' This will be done on a separate sheet of paper. 1-2 bullet points per section will be fine. Students will have the period to take notes. If you do not finish, that is OK.

Tuesday
Students will put themselves into groups of 4 and create a poster as to who they think deserves the credit for discovering America. Students will create a poster using a piece of butcher paper (this will be provided for you) explaining who they think deserves credit for the discovery of America and why. The poster must have the following:
- Title (“Who Discovered America?”)
- Theory (e.g. “We believe ________ deserves the credit for the founding of America.”)
- Selected documents/evidence to support your theory
- Visuals to help illustrate your theory
Wednesday
Students will be given time to finish up their posters and begin presenting. If presentations are not completed today, they will be completed tomorrow. EVERY student must talk, however, one person can be in charge of completing most of the presentation. Each student will need to say their name and a random fact about themselves (Ex: I have broken 3 bones, I'm a twin, I have 10 siblings, etc.) The rubric for the poster/presentation is as follows:
Who got credit: ______________________
Evidence: _____
Picture: ______
Everyone Spoke: ______________
Total: ____/30

Students learned how to take notes as well as how to complete their interactive notebooks. Follow the directions of the 'How to Complete an Interactive Notebook PPT' to complete the assignments. I HIGHLY recommend you watch the 'How To Complete an Interactive Notebook Lecture' for more explicit directions, if you were absent.

Friday
|
Students filled out all the states and capitals of the United States of America. The map was stamped by the end of the period for full credit. The map should be in various colors for full credit. Students will take a test on all the states and capitals on Friday, September 1st. Students will be given a blank map and a word bank of all the states and capitals. The states/capitals will not match on the word bank. Students must know where each state and capital go on the map in order to receive full points for the test.
