Academic Notes/HW

Social Studies Div 3 and 4: We previewed this term's learning goals and began a unit on the Abrahamic Religions, Judaism, Islam and Christianity. We are investigating the question: How can learning about the past help us to understand the present? We took Cornell Notes on some key vocabulary around religion; I will test you on that vocabulary next class. Each one of you was assigned the perspective of one of the three religions. You will be researching and then teaching the class about your assigned religion.

Math Div 4: We previewed this term's learning goals and began a unit on fractions. You took Cornell Notes on key vocabulary: fraction, unit fraction, numerator, denominator, equivalent fraction, improper fraction, mixed fraction. This was review for you, or should have been. Next class we will be ordering fractions on a number line.

English Div 5: We previewed this term's learning goals and you were assigned a local news article to write. Your homework is coming up with a topic and people to interview.

Today's word is: belief.
