Week 7

Today is your final day with your current partner. You really need to have all of your assignments finished today. Since you have a Substitute Teacher today, I don’t want you to submit any assignments. They won’t get to me. Finish them today and turn them in on Monday. If you don’t turn assignments in on Monday, you have until next Thursday (Oct. 04) to turn them in or you will receive a ZAP.

Assignments that I still am missing from some of you during this two week stretch with your current partner include:

-Missouri History and Timeline

-USA Scavenger Hunt

After you finish those 2 assignments, I want you to start focusing on learning where to identify the states on a map and matching states, capitals, and postal abbreviations. In a couple of weeks you will be tested over these individually so you need to start studying them. You will have a couple of options today as far as what resources you use. If you want, you can get a variety and visit the different links. At no point in time should you be on Google Earth or on any of the games from my class Links. 

Option 1: There’s a large variety of resources at this website. You can start off on the “Beginner” levels and try to work your way up to “Advanced”. They have games that allow you to practice identifying states on a map and they have games that have you match states with capitals.

Option 2: You will want to be a little familiar with a US Map before you visit this link. You have to place the currect state name on the correct state. It has a timer so you can do this multiple times to see if you can beat your previous high score.

Option 3: This has a few state and capital matching games.

Week 7

Today you need to continue working on yesterday’s USA Scavenger Hunt landform assignment.

Whenever you finish, turn it in.  Save it as: hr-last name- last name-USmap

Make sure that you have finished all of your other assignments from this 2 week rotation with your current partner before you have free time.

Week 7

Mr. America is back! Today you are going to take Mr. America across the entire United States while you visit important landforms along the way. Read and follow the directions for: US Scavenger Hunt

When you finish, make sure you turn it in. You will name it: hr-last name-last name-USmap

 

Week 7

1. Today you have a Missouri Review assignment on Quia. This is not a quiz. You are allowed to use previous assignments or the internet to help you find your answers. Either you or your partner need to log onto Quia. The link for your assignment is here.

Your username is your last name, followed by your first name, and then #690. Ex. osbornejacob690

Your password is your Mosis #.

The “secret word” for this assignment is:  Missouri

2. After you finish the assignment send 1 person from your group to tell Mr. Osborne you and your partner’s scores. I can pull your scores up myself, but it’ll make it easier for me if I have both you and your partner’s scores since it’s under one of your names and I won’t have to look up who your partner is.

3. If you have extra time, make sure that you are finished with the MO Timeline assignment from yesterday.

Week 7

You will work with your partner to look at some key events in Missouri’s history. You will need to use the internet to find out what dates different events occurred. Complete the questions and the timeline in this assignment: MO History and Timeline

Whenever you are finished, save it (hr-last name-last name-MOtimeline) and turn it in.

Week 6

Today we are presenting our Museum Box Cities. Go ahead and go to Museum Box and log in. After you log in to Museum Box, load your presentation.

Sit quietly until it’s your turn to present to the class.

Week 6

Today and tomorrow are work days. You need to research the questions for your assigned city and create your cube. Use the links in the previous post to watch the tutorial video or to access the museum box website. Mr. Osborne will show you an example of what your finished project should look like.

Watch this video to see how to access the video drive. In the video I tell you to click on the “students” folder, but I want you to click on the “video” folder. Then go to Osborne. Then click on “museum box”.

You will be presenting your cube to the class on Friday. You won’t get any time to work on it on Friday.

Reminder! All work from the past 2 weeks that you worked on with your last partner is due tomorrow! If you have any missing assignment by Thursday, you will receive a ZAP!

Week 6

You should be sitting with a new partner today. Today is also picture day. At some point this hour you will go take your pictures. If you are buying pictures, turn your order forms in to the guy that takes your pictures.

We are starting an assignment today that will last the rest of the week. You will be assigned a city from Missouri to research. Look at the attached chart to see what city you have been assigned. You will use the number by your computer to find out your computer number. Open this document and follow the directions: Missouri Cities Project

You are going to use a website called Museum box to complete this assignment. You can access it here. Your username is your MOSIS # and your password is tigers.

Watch this video to see how  to use Museum Box.

You will work on this assignment today-Thursday. On Friday, you and your partner will have to share your cube with the rest of the class.

Reminder! All work from the past 2 weeks that you worked on with your last partner is due this Thursday! If you have any missing assignment by Thursday, you will receive a ZAP!

Week 6

Today is Constitution Day! Every Social Studies teacher is required by law to teach about the Constitution because of its importance to all US citizens. This is the document that gives everyone their rights and freedoms that many people around the world do not have.

1. To start class, I am going to show you a Brain Pop video that discusses the Bill of Rights.

2. I want you to get more familiarized with the Bill of Rights. To get you better aquainted with them, I want you to visit and play the iCivics game “Do I Have a Right?”

Do not “log-in” or “register”. Just click “No Thanks”. Read all of the pop-ups and prompts. They will give you the directions of how to play the game.

Reminder! If you didn’t turn in any assignment from the past 2 weeks (with your last partner), those assignments are due this Thursday. If they aren’t turned in by Thursday, you will receive a ZAP. Make arrangements to come in before or after school or you can work on them at home and email them to me.

Week 5

Do this first: Today your assignment is pretty short. All directions for what you need to do the entire hour can be found here: Spook Light Feedback

Today is your final day with your current partner. You will have a new partner on Monday. You can check Infinite Campus to see if you have any missing assignments. Infinite Campus log-in information can be found on page 26 in your planners. Also on Monday, you will be receiving picture packets for picture day which will be on Tuesday.
