We've Got to Keep On Moving!

Most of you are ready to check out for the year, but we're not quite there yet!  Seniors may only have 27 days left, but that means we have 27 days of work to complete!


In American Civics, we are going to discuss the Cold War, Korean Conflict, and Vietnam.  As a reminder, our final exam is going to be based on the citizenship test we took at the beginning of the year.  This final will be closed notes, so you should begin studying now.

Sociology is going to take the test over Crime and Deviance on Monday.  Our next unit focuses on Social Stratification.  This is an interesting subject as we will discuss the Caste system of India.  It's often difficult to grasp the idea that people can't change their social ranking with personal effort.

In Computer Applications, we'll continue our exploration of all the free tools Google has to offer.  Students have become bloggers in their own right and have explored Google Documents.  This is a great tool because students can access the items from any Internet source.  In addition, documents are saved to the Internet--no flash drive is needed to save information.  Students have been amazed to work on items at the same time too!


This is just what we have going on this week.  I promise to have tons of lessons and activities for our remaining weeks!  Plan on keeping busy.  It's not time to check out yet.
