During this first semester I plan to use "Schoolnotes" to provide a rough schedule of the content I hope to cover on a two week basis. Test and quiz dates are approximate as various school activities may impact the schedule.
I teach social studies in a two week rotating block schedule. Three of my six classes will receive social studies instruction two periods per day while the other three classes are in science. At the end of two weeks, I switch students with the science teacher and teach the other three classes. This continues through out the semester.
[Please note schedule change]
Currently we are working on Chapter 7: The Aftermath of War" Students are answering reading questions through page 248 during a one week block ending May 1. We will cover the "Reconstruction" period in US history and its effect on NC and then start on the return of the Democrats to political power after the failure of Republican Reconstruction.
After this week my teaching schedule will change and I will alternate with the science teacher, thus teaching three classses on one day and three different classes the next day. In other words my two week block schedule will shift so I teach the same classes every other day until the end of school.
We will be in chapter 7 for probably the next week, depending on interruptions and finish Chalpter 7 about May 8.
Students should have reading questions to answer most nights. These questions and answers will serve as notes for students to study in preparation for their tests and quizzes.
Please encourage students to bring all work to class daily and keep all notes and questions / answers in one binder.
Please see below for additional information.
