U. S. History classes today did bellringer #4, entitled "United States Natural Resources", and a geography skills activity called "Understanding Time Zones". U.S. History will have a Geography Skills Test on Friday. You may check your class page on the wiki or go to my Carver webpage and click the "forms" link to download a copy of the study guide for this test. Government students had a quiz on chapter 1 section 2. If you missed class today, you need to make this up as soon as possible either before or after school. We also did a chapter 1 reteaching activity and a political cartoon. These will be located on the absentee bulletin board until Friday. Don't forget that you have a chapter 1 test tomorrow. The test will cover the following all of the chapter 1 vocabulary terms, the notes titled "Intro to Government", all of the charts we did (including today), the four essential features of a state, the four functions of government, and the four theories of the origins of government. Also your homework assignment on the Republican National Convention is due Friday.
