1st and 8th-hour Algebra:
We are wrapping up Ch. 9 with a quiz and a test at the end of the week or early next week. I condensed Ch. 10 into three worksheets of problems, so we will not formally cover every lesson in the review preview section. I grabbed all the problems that reflected the specific skills covered in each lesson. No test on Ch. 10. We will then do a unit on simplifying radicals and cover questions for the exam.
3rd and 7th-hour – 8th-grade math:
We are wrapping up Ch. 9 with a quiz Wednesday and test Thursday (we have a change in schedule on Friday due to the art museum field trip).
This week the students will be constructing an electromagnet and using it to build a motor. They will explore a number of variables to see how they affect the motor's output of energy.
This week in English, students will return to the world of grammar, creating presentations to review the grammar concepts we explored earlier in the year, in preparation for the approaching grammar test.
We will also explore ekphrastic poetry – vivid, often dramatic, poetry written in response to visual works of art – as we will be taking a field trip to the Milwaukee Art Museum on Friday, May 18th. It will be the students' task to find inspiration from at least one piece of art and to write an ekphrastic poem of their own, incorporating at least one grammatical construction that we have studied this year.
This week we will finish watching West Side Story and compare and contrast it with The Outsiders. Starting on Wednesday students will start preparing for the debate on May 23rd.
This week, we are finishing our Wisconsin Native American Tribe presentations and Ch. 23 Tensions in the West. We will be beginning Ch. 24 The Rise of Industry. The essential question is Did the benefits of industrialization outweigh the costs? The students will also complete a DBQ essay for this Chapter. The DBQ is titled The Philanthropy of Andrew Carnegie: Did it Make Him a Hero? We will then finish the Unit by studying Ch. 25 which is titled: The Great Wave of Immigration.
