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 Mon. 2/1 and Tues. 2/2.

due Mon. 1/25- paragraphs #3, 4, 5, conclusion for Life as a Muslim Teenager project

due Tues. 1/26- Hinduism sheet

for Wed. 1/27- work on Life as a Muslim Teenager project

due Thurs. 1/28- karma/dharma comic strip

due Fri. 1/29- Buddhism sheets

due Mon. 2/1- Life as a Muslim Teenager project

No outside research should be done for this project.  The students completed a sheet in class (The Five Pillars of Islam Facts Sheet) that gave them the information they need for the project.  If students need more information they should ask Ms. Morgan for the packet that goes with the Five Pillars sheet.

NOTE:   Students will be able to earn extra credit on the project by showing their project to a parent and having the parent fill out the "Parent Feedback Sheet."  This sheet is available students now and can also be downloaded at classjump.com.  It needs to be turned in with the project and the writing on it needs to be the parent's writing.  Also, a parent needs to fill out the sheet, not an older sibling.

due Tues. 2/2- Confucianism outline

due Thurs. 2/4- Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism brochure

Thurs. 2/4- Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism quiz

due Fri. 2/5- African Geography sheet

due Tues. 2/9- Ch. 11, Sec. 2 sheet

 **I added a website where I have assignments available to download.  Check out the class jump site below.***

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.
