Study hard!

The following is a recording of Walter Cronkite delivering the news of King's assassination in 1968.

If this doesn't get you excited for class, I don't know what will. :)

Google just released a feature that allows you to sort your search results into basic, intermediate, and advanced reading level.  Watch the video below to see how to do it.

Another way to study for tomorrows History/Geography test is to go to mapmastery.blogspot.com.

It is a blog Sam and Josiah set up and it has Map Mastery 5 loaded onto it so you can use it to study locations.  They intend to continue updating it with new maps as we come to them, so you might want to bookmark this site and keep coming back to it.

Great job boys!  Way to take initiative and help other people.

For your History test this Wednesday know the following:
- Chapter 4 facts from chapter checkups and comprehension checks
- Map Mastery 5, both maps
- Be able to write a paragraph about the Atlantic Ocean including five facts


Here are some quizzes to help you study:
- Tanner's Quiz
- Bryce's Quiz

Today, you will be creating a movie poster.  You can be very creative with this project and pretty much take it wherever you want.  You might not even do a movie poster.  Maybe you do more of an advertisement for your province.  The details and design are up to you.  Be creative and take some risks!

You poster must include:
- your logo
- your slogan
- at least one picture of something important or interesting in your province.


Here are some examples of movie posters that have a logo, slogan and picture to get you thinking:

Remember to be typing your Canada paragraph and have it printed out and ready to turn in at the beginning of the day on Friday.

Please do not come to school on Friday and tell me you still need to print your paragraph.  You can print at school on Thursday if needed.  If you need to print at school on Friday, your paragraph will be considered late.  Don't procrastinate!  Plan for technology problems!

We're going to have a pretty weird schedule these next few days, but we need to fit in a history test somehow so next week we will review on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, (no school Thursday) and then have the test on Friday.  Hopefully the day off will give people a chance to study as opposed to people forgetting about the test.


It will cover Ch. 3 and Map Mastery 4 (both maps).

I just created a public Google Map for Map Mastery 4 (pg. 17).  Check it out here.
