Time Line Assignment

We went over the vocabulary words for the first section of "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" in class today. In Periods 2 and 3 we have just about finished reading and discussing chapter 1. In Period 4, we did finish Chapter 1. Hopefully, Period 6 will get close to the end of the chapter as well.

The vocabulary test is scheduled for Monday, January 11th. Please begin studying the definitions, parts of speech and use of the words.

We have a new bulletin board in Room 206. This board includes a timeline from 1619 when Africans were brought to Jamestown, Virginia as slaves. The timeline ends in 1998. The task of Team 7-2 is to complete this timeline naming and illustrating African Americans and their accomplishments and contributions to the United States. Period 2 is responsible for 2006-2009, Period 3 is responsible for 2004-2005, Period 4 is responsible for 1999-2002, and Period 6 is responsible for 2003. Students are required to use Bing or Google to help identify one or more African Americans who made significant contributions during these particular years in history.
