Next Week

The next two weeks in class:

History: This week in history, students will close out the Middle Ages unit with the study of Joan of Arc and relevant literature, as well as learning about the Black Death and the role it played in Europe toward the end of the Middle Ages. Students will take a test next week on chapters 17-21, for which they have the study guides. Please note that this test is largely composed of short-answer questions--students should be prepared to explain concepts we discuss in class and on the study guides.

Science: During the fourth week of the second quarter, students will learn more about Arizona regions, biomes, plants, and animals. They will also continue their study of meteorology. The project is due on November 16.

Math: Students will continue working on fractions. There will be nightly homework.
