I do hope you are all well, and that you are committed to working hard and being respectful. I expect your best behavior and most efficient use of time. The crossword that I have created and the Taboo packet will be helpful as you set out to review for Monday's quiz.<br /><br />When you are through with your review materials (Taboo & Crossword), I would like to see you interact with a K-W-L on the 1920s. Remember the K-W-L stands for:<br /><br />* What you Know?<br />* What you Want to know?<br />* What you Learned?<br /><br />I do hope you all have a great weekend! Remember, middle school is fast coming to a close. Let's work as hard as we can in the coming weeks so that the skills necessary for high school success are sharpened.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Classroom Procedures</span><br /><br /><br />Please hand out a Taboo packet to each student. These packets can be found on my desk or on the small table in front of my desk. Please inform students that these terms are the BIG ones for Monday’s quiz. Please ask students to take 7 minutes today to review the terms. If comfortable, students may work with a partner to quiz one another. (read taboo terms and ask partner to try to identify the word)<br /><br />Please hand out WW I Crossword Puzzle. You may allow students to work individually or with a partner. Students may use the “old” textbooks in the back of the room. After 15 minutes, or when all students are nearing completion, please go through the crossword with the students. Answers are below:<br /><br />Once complete, each student should pick up an “old” textbook from the back of the classroom. Then, please hand out the K-W-L sheet.<br />Please ask students to open the textbook to the chapter on the 1920s. I believe this is Chapter 24. Utilizing this chapter, ask students to complete the K and W part of the KWL. Feel free to complete the K (What do you KNOW) as a whole-class activity.<br /><br />What students do not finish of the K-W-L must be finished by Tuesday’s class.Directorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14223086000454856460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497329009216955576.post-46534733437853488312010-02-12T11:50:00.002-05:002010-02-12T11:55:04.637-05:00February BreakI would like to wish each of you a wonderful Februray recess.

I also expect you to be respectful to the substitute as well as one another.<br /><br />Today's Procedure<br /><br />1. Please write homework from the back board<br />2. Take out homework packet - "Captains of Industry or Robber Barons?<br /><br />*With substitute, please review all answers and discuss as necessary.<br /><br />3. Once review is complete, work on packet pages 11 & 12. <br /><br />4. Note: We will be writing a TDC paragraph in class on Friday. If all of your work is completed, you are strongly encouraged to work on a rough draft. The question will be:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Should the Industrial leaders of the late 1800s be looked at with admiration as Captains of Industry, or should they be viewed with disdain as Robber Barons?<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br /><br />5.

One School at a Time , Greg Mortenson, and journalist David Oliver Relin, recount the journey that led Mortenson from a failed 1993 attempt to climb Pakistan’s K2, the world’s second highest mountain, to successfully establish schools in some of the most remote regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. By replacing guns with pencils, rhetoric with reading, Mortenson combines his unique background with his intimate knowledge of the third-world to promote peace with books, not bombs, and successfully bring education and hope to remote communities in central Asia. Three Cups of Tea is at once an unforgettable adventure and the inspiring true story of how one man really is changing the world—one school at a time.</em>Directorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14223086000454856460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497329009216955576.post-48016977935280232362009-10-05T15:02:00.003-04:002009-10-05T15:04:33.603-04:00Test Make-UpsExtra Help will be available on Thursday, October 8th for any student who missed last week's exam.

It seems like only yesterday that we were completing our final exams and heading off into summer break. I do hope the summer was a restful time for all of you, allowing you the opportunity to relax in the company of family and friends. The Keegan family had a great summer, with the boys, Leo and Matthew, visiting the Adirondacks, New York City, and the Jersey Shore for the first time. <br /><br />I look to the '09-'10 school-year with great excitement as we will explore American history from 1865 (the first shots at Fort Sumter) to the modern day and the global war on terror. Embedded in our curriculum is an integrated ELA-Social Studies examination of the book, <em><strong>Three Cups of Tea.</strong></em>The book chronicles the work of Greg Mortensen in building schools in Pakistan and fostering greater respect and rights for women.<br /><br />Remember the words of Thomas edison:<br /><br /><em><strong>Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."</strong></em><br /><br />If you are willing to work hard you will find no limit to what you can accomplish. I look forward to helping you reach your goals.<br /><br />- Mr. Keegan<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQoKQwC1sWHN5T3V4k8DRw0ZD1iLwMqINbDWE3nRvrdN9v9DNZPcrFxKP6-__5t6NTILKAjzIGZZnHEnQ9gifA5wppUQNvTEetKqGAUI3_7aYNN7pf8EWD4e8cNDTZaqPlmSlNw0HJu0/s1600-h/642267731_qnKfy-L.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQoKQwC1sWHN5T3V4k8DRw0ZD1iLwMqINbDWE3nRvrdN9v9DNZPcrFxKP6-__5t6NTILKAjzIGZZnHEnQ9gifA5wppUQNvTEetKqGAUI3_7aYNN7pf8EWD4e8cNDTZaqPlmSlNw0HJu0/s400/642267731_qnKfy-L.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379084180469913282" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdA0-P8cOhQaQZbXLEw4HK1hZZ6_hAX7T_v0fUjtxStooLf7cwbDUxaLoqaha_CSILwUZw1aYZVL2UhczdtbQpShKQZlnG3ZAi0M_DSoWyimbXpREEv40uFcGeXjbXe1VNSdFTpaE-5C4/s1600-h/642244473_DjG2J-M.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdA0-P8cOhQaQZbXLEw4HK1hZZ6_hAX7T_v0fUjtxStooLf7cwbDUxaLoqaha_CSILwUZw1aYZVL2UhczdtbQpShKQZlnG3ZAi0M_DSoWyimbXpREEv40uFcGeXjbXe1VNSdFTpaE-5C4/s400/642244473_DjG2J-M.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379083774216452018" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyXJONR9dUpbL_9oNCG_5h_O4Okj-_GmLjr-Op13ometeeGHm6Izir4hRU5MovxEDLlhLpK2N9n9H1ikFbVPUPRpje7yozZKnX9WKAACVIPyEhoJYTtT8EkATZ69GQghZfXIVBW06NSLQ/s1600-h/642240659_43ZGJ-M.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyXJONR9dUpbL_9oNCG_5h_O4Okj-_GmLjr-Op13ometeeGHm6Izir4hRU5MovxEDLlhLpK2N9n9H1ikFbVPUPRpje7yozZKnX9WKAACVIPyEhoJYTtT8EkATZ69GQghZfXIVBW06NSLQ/s400/642240659_43ZGJ-M.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379083711866862114" /></a>Directorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14223086000454856460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497329009216955576.post-12410261123815680632009-06-09T07:34:00.003-04:002009-06-09T07:41:29.626-04:00June 9, 2009<span style="font-weight:bold;">Hello Team 7-2</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Today's Announcements<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br /><br />Extra Help will be held on Wednesday and Thursday mornings at 7:10, as well as Wednesday afternoon.<br /><br />1.
