8th Grade Social Studies

This week 8th grade classes will be starting a history challenge on colonization. They have the option of taking quizs and a chapter test if they choose to instead of doing the project. Wh ile there is no homework it would be wise for them to research on their own time after school.

History Challenge #1
Research what information and materials were aailable between 192 and 1675. Then, based on your findings, plan an expedition to set up colonization in the Americas. Base your research on the Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, Dutch, exploraions, reasons for colonization, and forms of governance and experiences. They may also base their expedition on African experiences. This information can be found in chapter 3 of the American Nation textbook.

This week 7th grade students are preparing for the Chapter 1 section 2 quiz on the spread of Islam. In class they completed a review sheet to be used as a study guide, and created quizzes for the class to try out. The Quiz will be on October 4. Next week we will begin the next section on the religion of Islam.
