Daily Routine: 1. Daily Do Now: either map skills or CNN Student News response 2. This is a project driven class: Our first project is exploring the great state of New Jersey. We will take a trip throughout the 21 counties and learn about its early settlers, its environment, its agriculture, its attractions and many more things that the Garden State has to offer.
Homework: ***A NewsELA article will be assigned on Mondays most weeks. It is to be turned in on Thursday of the same week. Answers are to be highlighted in the text. Open ended questions are to be restated and then answered. (We will go over this in class. It is a skill that you will use throughout your years here at Halsted.) Articles will be related to the topic which we are covering in class. All homework is to be turned by the student in the appropriate bin on the back shelf. Students will lose 8 points a day for late assignments and a zero for missing assignments.
