Today we read through the rest of chapter four and all of chapter five. During the reading we completed this handout so as to help focus our reading. On the front page we added details about the seven events. We listed the year of the event, created an icon that represents the event and then explained how the even impacted the American rights and the US government.
On the second half of the handout we identified and explained examples of events that could be deemed as the origins of the ideal or at least an event that helped to fan the spread and growth of the ideal.
While we were working on the reading, Mr. Williams discussed our grade and explained how we could retake the test for an improved score. If we are not satisfied with our test score, we can retake the test for full credit after we have better prepared and arranged a time to retake the test. Mr. Williams is of course available during tutorial time, but he can also stay past his contract day for test retakes so long as he does not have a meeting or family obligation that would prevent him from doing so.
We will be doing a tea party activity on Wednesday and having completely read chapter five (which should have happened in class today) will ensure a successful in class activity. If for whatever reason anyone did not complete the reading in class, they should make certain that the catch-up before Wednesday.
