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.
The new two week block began on September 15. These three classes will cover chapter 1, "Setting the Scene" and part of Chapter 2, "Cultures Meet". There will be a quiz on Wednesday (17th) and a chapter 1 test on Friday (19th). Chapter 2 will have a vocabulary and content test covering as much of Chapter 2 as we finish during the second week.
On September 29 the next two week rotation will start. We will then review Chapter 2 through page 35 and start new material working through Chapter 3, "Colonial North Carolina".
Please see below for additional information.
