12/16 Geo

All Geo students took their test on Unit 5 today. 1st and 6th period students do not have any homework. 4th period needs to finish their map of the United States for homework and I will collect it for a grade on Tuesday.

12/15 AP World History

The students took notes on the second half of Chapter 15 in class Thursday. They also got two worksheets. The worksheets are very helpful and the students should spend time over the weekend finishing those two sheets. I will collect them on Wednesday for a grade. Not every square will be filled in evenly on the charts and the maps need to be colored.

Students also need to have all of Chapter 14 read by Wednesday. On Monday I will lecture on the first half of Chapter 14 which most students have already read. Be ready for a reading quiz on the first half of 14 only on Monday.

E-mail me with any questions at christopher.chappell@nn.k12.va.us
