Current Event 2

Washing Hands

History and You

Pull out the white sheet I gave you on Monday, the one with "History and You" on the back.  

Turn to the front side and complete the "About You" and "About the Class" sections. We will do the "quiz" section in a moment.

What is History?

Before we can begin to study history, we need to know what history is, why we study it, and how to do so.

Instructions:
Using complete sentences, write a paragraph that answers these two questions:
       -What is history?
       -Why do you think it's important to 
        study?

REMEMBER, a paragraph is 4-6 good sentences.

First Self-Start :)

Welcome students!  This is a self-start.  Self-start means you silently read your instructions and get to work without help from the teacher.  Let's test your abilities right now!

Instructions:
- Find your seat.
- Fill out today's assignment (in green on the class calendar) in your planner.
- Pull out your goal maps and start working on them.
- Check your neighbor.  Are they doing what they're supposed to?  Maybe they need your help to get started.  Feel free to silently motion what they should do.
