End of the first 9 weeks!
Hi everyone! I can't believe the end of the first nine weeks is almost here. All students will be required to take the Social Studies 9 week test. I think this is a good practice for them to prepare for high school and college. It requires them to retain and recall information from the entire 9 weeks. There will be 100 questions on the test. General classes will have all multiple choice questions. My AP class will have a varied format. Most students complain about taking the test, but the usually end up doing better on it than any other test for the grading period because they actually study!! What an idea, huh?? Anyway, I am going to post the study guide here for everyone to see. All students who have been keeping up with their journal properly should be able to answer the study guide using only their journals. But I am sure some students will need their books as well. I encourage all students to study at least 20 minutes each day over the long weekend. GOOD LUCK!
