8th Grade Ch. 07 Test

You WILL still be having your Chapter 07 Test tomorrow. There is no short answer or essay. Below is a link to the Chapter 07 Study Guide. (yes, I know that I said that I would not give you one, but seeing that we did not review, I thought this was a fair trade off.) Be sure to study and know your material. Just because there is no short answer or essay does not mean it will be easy.

7th Grade Map Test

This is the link to your map that I passed out. Please note that you do not need to be able to identify and label ALL countries/capitals from this map (we did not go over some). You do, however, need to be able to identify and label all countries/capitals from the sheet I handed out. See the links below if you are missing your map or match-ups.

CNN Journal Question of the Day

Here are the CNN Journal questions for this week.

• November 30th: Write a paragraph on the topic of your choice.

• December 1st: After hearing about the plight of the Irish soccer team, what do you think the official ruling should be?

• December 2nd: After hearing the pros and cons of the President's decision to send 30K more troops to Afghanistan, do you think this was a good/bad decision. Cite concrete examples from Student News.

Your journals need to be a paragraph, shown to me by Friday. I am not accepting any that are NOT a paragraph nor turned in AFTER Friday.

8th Grade Presidental Farewell Addresses

Choose to read either Ronald Reagan's or George W. Bush's farewell address. I will be giving you a quiz in class over whichever you choose to read, so read for comprehension.

Click here for Ronald Reagan's address.

Click here for George W. Bush's address.

In class tomorrow we will be comparing these with that of George Washington's farewell address. Take notes on tone used throughout the speech, major points the president spoke about, and any underlying issues that you can pick up on. Also take notes on things you do not understand so that I can clear up questions tomorrow.
