Week of Oct. 26-Oct 29
Happy Halloween! Instead of a benchmark in USATestprep, you have an assignment. Login to USATestprep, on your main user page click the tab that says "Classes." Make sure it shows you in your correct block for World History. If not, just click "Add class" and then choose Mrs. Copeland and whichever block you are in.
Then click on "Assignments." You will see a game assigned. You will answer a few questions then get to play a game. It might be lame but it's better than a benchmark, yes?
BLOG Topic:
1st, 2nd, 5th: From Study Guide part one, Who do you think should be Person of the Millennium? Why?
(DO NOT nominate yourself)
4th: Do you feel like doing one mini-project a week is helping you learn? You all felt overwhelmed at the beginning of the year at how quickly 4th block passes. Does it feel less stressful now?
