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?

Based on how this year has gone so far, share your opinions on the schedule. Would you prefer to go back to a 5 day week? Would you prefer to stay on block schedule but go back to 90 minute blocks? Or would you prefer to go to a 6 or 7 class schedule, where you stay in the same classes all year and they last 55 minutes?  Think about PBL and how this would work.
