  4. All of next week is anti-bullying awareness week. Next Friday will be a spirit day - dress in blue to show you're against bullying. 
Language Arts
  1. Story #2 was mapped out today. Some students took the initiative and began their second story beginning. The map for Story #2 must be done for Monday.
Social Studies
  1. The title page assignment was assigned today. Students need to use the checklist on the back of the handout to ensure that the title page is done completely.  
  • Words brainstormed by the class: lottery, social structure, constitution, Bouleterion, Boule, democracy, minority, majority, citizen, metic, tyrant, slaves, defendant, magistrate, justice, plaintiff, values, power Greece, dowry, oral history, orator, ostracize, justice, agora, philosopher, rights, and responsibilities. 
  • Students were asked to spend the weekend thinking about what illustrations they can use the represent the 10 vocal words they chose; they may need parent/guardian support for this as some of the key terms are abstract
  • 15 minutes will be given in class next day to continue work on the title pages. A due date will be announced afterwards.
