Today we reviewed for Monday's exam by rotating through 4 stations. Students worked with Ms. Schaefer on drawing the Mental Map. Students worked with Mr. Magnuson on creating timelines and determining the difference in the length of time between two dates. Students then reviewed their answers to Wednesday's review Jeopardy game and also answers to Monday's review guide. If students finished everything early they then critiqued the work of their classmates on the vocabulary connections project.
Homework: Study for Monday's Exam.
