This week, sixth graders are wrapping up our unit on culture and geography, and beginning to transition into our first civilization, Mesopotamia. Students will begin delving into Mesopotamia next week. This week, they will be doing some reading and writing response work tied to culture, as well as investigate how and why farming is an instrumental step towards the development of civilization.
Last week, students took a short pre-assessment identifying the continents and oceans. There will be a post-assessment next Tuesday, October 29th. Students who demonstrated accurate knowledge of all continents and oceans during the pre-assessment will not need to take the post-assessment. Students will be informed in class if they need to take the post-assessment or not. Practice work will be distributed to students who need to take the post-assessment, and should be used by students to study for the post-assessment (the practice is not due for a grade).
Homework this week:
Continents/oceans post-assessment will be Tuesday, October 29th
