They would have already filled in the Arab Springs portion of the chart. See noted on Tuesday 24th, 2013. Finally students we given a worksheet: posted today to complete to show their understanding of the French revolution story. Ancient History: Students have grouped themselves together to work on presentations about Mesopotamia. The students were given a day to research. They were shown the rubric that they are graded on and they met with the teacher to go over their presentation. The rubric is posted. The students are reminded about their quiz today and that their presentations will begin on Monday September 30th, 2013. Students are reminded that absentees of their group will mean that the presentations still happens but the group member who is absent will have to write a report to show their understanding to make up for the mark. Law120: Students discussed the Ashley Smith case and whether her rights were violated or not. The students then learned about human rights and their responsibility in regards to discrimination.
