Ms. Morgan- 8th grade world history


Thank you for visiting my Schoolnotes site.  I hope that you find it helpful.  This information is intended as a guide.  Ultimately it's the student's responsibility to write down her/his homework in class and bring home the materials needed to complete the homework.

Also, a reminder that students need to make sure that their work is their own work and done in their own handwriting.  There is not a reason why two (or more) students should turn in work that is the same or very similar. 

I will be after school on Tues. 11/3 and Fri 11/6.

due Mon. 11/2- Big Emperor/Pope Tombstone on white paper

Students started this in class on Fri. 10/30.

Ch. 7, Sec. 3 and 4 quizzes were returned on Mon. 11/2.  Students who want to make corrections and improve their grade can do so, as long as they haven't made corrections on a test or quiz this trimester.  Students who want to make corrections need to see Ms. Morgan to get a copy of the quiz and then need to read the directions for the corrections which are on p. 5 (I think, it's a yellow paper) of their notebook.

due Tues. 11/3- Ch. 8, Sec. 3 outline

Students started this work during class on Thurs. 10/29.

due Wed. 11/4- Europe at the Time of the Crusades Map

Students started this work during class on Thurs. 10/29.

no HW due Thurs. 11/5

due Fri. 11/6- Ch.8 Review questions

due Mon. 11/9- Assessing the Crusades and Reconquista chart (cannot be uploaded to Class Jump)

ALSO

corrections to Ch.7, Sec. 2 & 4 quiz (if you are choosing to do corrections)

8th GRADE LATE HOMEWORK POLICY-

The eighth grade team's late work policy allows for late work to be turned in for credit only by the end of that calendar week. If a child misses an assignment on Monday, they will be allowed to turn it in by that Friday, four days later. If a student misses an assignment on a Thursday, they will be allowed to turn it in by that Friday, the next day. Exceptions will be made for absences based on the rules in the student handbook. Work of greater importance (such as projects or research papers) may be given more time at the discretion of the teacher.

Late project clarification

My history handout, taped on p.1 in the notebook, explains my late policy regarding projects.  However, it somewhat unclear.  If a project is one or two days late, it loses one letter grade.  If a project is three or four days late, it loses two letter grades and so on for five, six, etc. days late.
