Social Studies 7

We discussed the Pocahontas movie questions to gain a better understanding of the accuracies and inaccuracies in the portrayal of the relationship between the First Nations and explorers.  We discussed stereotypes and exaggerations that were evident in the movie.

Students then completed a push/pull activity.  They read pages 39-43 in their textbooks and looked at what pushed the Europeans to explore, and what pulled them into exploration.  If students have not finished this activity, they need to finish it for Monday.

Social Studies 8

We corrected current events.  I extended the textbook questions until Monday due to some questions that were still outstanding regarding which pages to do or for questions which needed further clarification.

Health 8

Students finished their Planning Stage for their Digital Identity Project.  They are ready to begin retrieving information about their digital identities on Monday.
