Asia

HellO!

The 7th Grade students will be doing slightly different activities over the next 7 weeks. Students in my 1st period class will be working on a Research Paper project over a topic that was assigned to them relating to Asia. Students were given topics from one of the following four categories: culture, cities, emperors, and dynasties. Students are currently working on finding reliable internet sources and creating 20 notecards about relevant information from those articles.

Students in my honors class have been exposed to an overview of the major religions in Asia. Starting tomorrow (and continuing for the remainder of the week), students will be taught about geographical features of Asia and about the division of Asia into distinct regions. We will be focusing primarily on the geographic features of Asia this week and will move into a discussion of the culture of various sections of Asia next week.

Just a reminder, the next payment for students going on the Washington, D.C. trip will be due the 30th of April. The amount of the payment is $71.00. In order to help offset this payment, the students will be having a yard sale fundraiser (tentatively scheduled for the 28th of April). Please let me know if you are interested in helping out with this event or if your child will be able to attend the event. Proceeds for the fundraiser will go to those students who are able to attend the fundraiser.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
