Today, for bellwork, a quick worksheet on hemisperes was given out and taken for a grade. Also, we began to talk about timelines and the difference between AD and BC. <br /><br />Key Ideas: <br /><br />B.C. = Before Christ or time before the birth of Jesus. <br />A.D. = "Anno Domini" or "In the year of our Lord". Time from the birth of Jesus to today.<br /><br />B.C.E. or Before the Common Era is the same as BC<br />C.E. is the same as A.D. <br /><br />Both BCE and CE attempt to take the religion out of timekeeping.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4864408947480322293-6591753060356869699?l=room146.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>P.

They looked like the one below. I asked that they be returned signed for a grade and very few were. Please sign the students' letter.<br /><br />Dear Parent or Guardian:<br /><br />Your child,__________________ , has been assigned a project in Social Studies as a culmination of our study of the Middle East and North Africa. This project, “The ABC’s of Culture” will require that your student do research and break down information about on country in the region that we have been discussing. For each letter of the alphabet there is a series of questions that need to be answered in a brief paragraph. For example, A is for “Art”. The series of questions for each letter has also been attached for the document. Your child has been asked to report on 8 letters, two of which have already been chosen for him or her. The remainder can be chosen by your child.<br /><br />Your child has been assigned______________. I am requiring that he or she report on_________________________________.<br /><br />On Friday, November 30, 2007, we will have our research kickoff. Reference material and laptops will be used in class to help the class get started on their research. The final project will be due on Monday, December 10, 2007. According to the district grading policy, projects and tests count for 50% of the Social Studies grade. Above all, I hope that each child gives their best effort and their work shows care and thought.<br /><br />The project may be presented in two forms for full credit: as a scrapbook or as a poster. If your child is comfortable with Microsoft Powerpoint, then they can present it in that form for extra credit. Also, extra credit can be earned by “Going Beyond”.<br /><br />If you have any questions, please e-mail me at <a href="mailto:pmyers@dist159.com">pmyers@dist159.com</a>.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Respectfully,<br /><br /><br />Paul Myers<br />CPMS 6th Grade Social Studies<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4864408947480322293-7213720473864568557?l=room146.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>P.
