Grades for Friday's test and notebook check were returned today.  Students were allowing time to look back over the questions they missed to review for next week's make-up test.  Students that complete the Make-up Packet will be able to retake the test.

Students began the Colonial Life Reading Guide at the end of the hour.
 
Today in class, those students interested in retaking the test over exploration and colonization picked up the Test Retake Packet  The packet needs to be complete in order to participate in the retake next Tuesday (10/9) morning at 8:00am.

Students then spent time working on their Colonial Life Reading Guide from yesterday.  If time remained at the end of class, students were able to compare answers on the reading guide to make sure that they were accurate.
 
Today we graded and collected the Colonial Life Reading Guide from yesterday.  As students marked whether they were right or wrong, they also made corrections for studying in the future.
 
We began the podcasting project today in class.  Students used the Audacity Tutorial while they learned the basics of the program.  Recording of the Founding of Georgia Play will begin tomorrow!
 
We completed the Audacity Tutorial as the start of class today.  Students were then able to begin recording their Founding of Georgia Plays.  Students used some prearranged Links to download sound effect to enhance their performances.
