Happy New Year

First off, we will be doing an activity to rediscover our personal learning styles and use that to set some new educational goals for 2016!!!

Eng/LA:  Argument writing is the focus.  We will be reviewing "Thesis Statements" and continuing our research on our first topic: Pigs as Pets
Also we will be doing some "Crime Scene Investigations" as a fun way to learn Claim, Evidence, Warrant.

Social Studies:  We will be researching Architecture in Mesopotamia and doing a hands on Ziggurat Project - So please send old playing cards if you can...
