Creative Planning

The loss of days with bad weather makes creative lesson planning a necessity. The workbook pages we have been covering are to provide the knowledge for the solar system project that I will assign on our first day back to school. We still have 3 sections to cover in the book (not three chapters!); chapter 19, section 5 on comets, asteroids, and meteors (workbook pages on this section are due tomorrow!), chapter 19, section 2 on the sun, and chapter 18, section 4 on the moon. All are for foundational information, and we will cover these QUICKLY. A study guide will be provided for information necessary for their next quiz.

Please check out the project description, actual questions, and grading rubric under the Class Handouts link. Note that 5th and 6th period pre-ap students will have a different project. We will negotiate a due date for the project in class. This will be written in the students' assignment book asap.
