Sept. 30th - Oct. 2nd

This week in World History we continued our study of the Rise of Islam. Students worked on an Expansion of Islam fill-in-the-blank sheet during the shortened periods on Wednesday and completed the assignment for homework.

Thursday and Friday students will have a gallery walk on the contributions of Muslims on world civilization and will start their rough draft of the postcard project.


We are coming to the end of our unit on Islam and students will be creating a postcard project for a culmination. The postcard will include 10 facts learned during the unit - in narrative form, and a neat and colorful picture depicting a landscape from the region. Specific instructions for the assignment have been sent home with students. The due dates for this project are Monday the 5th(A) and Tuesday the 6th(B).

An INB check for the unit on Islam will occur towards the end of next week - start organizing now.

A reminder that benchmark exams will be approaching quickly - the date for exams in class will be October 15th (A block) and October 16th (B block).
