Tuesday, Feb. 3

--Today I checked to see if everyone had their interview notes, we took a quiz over ch. 8-10 in 3 Cups, and we watched 5 more vocab word presentations. If absent, show me your interview notes next time so you can get checked off for them, and get the vocab notes from a classmate.
--I also gave out a worksheet to help everyone focus their interview stories and decide what information they still need to get. See below for the questions. You should complete these questions and turn them in as soon as you've done your first interview so I can give you feedback on what you've got so far.
--Finally, we reviewed the new projects website and info. I will be everyone's projects teacher this semester, so you'll be turning all of your work in to me. The website is: http://staff.4j.lane.edu/~wiebe/ihs/eurasian/eurasian.htm
The first assignment is to download and print off the permission slip and bring it back signed next class. Your history teacher will also be talking more about the project and the website.
--HW: Read pgs. 125-153 in 3 Cups; turn in your Post Interview Writeup asap; bring in your vocab word if assigned; Projects--print permission slip and get signed
