Colony-opoly
Remember to ask your son/daughter about their username and password to access their on-line textbook.
Colony-opoly has begun in 8th grade American Studies classes. Students are in groups of two to create a colony-opoly game from scratch. The game will be created with people, colonies, cities, events, and things found in chapters two and three of their textbook. Groups will make a game board, create playing cards, and ultimately play colony-opoly.
Progress sheet #1 is due Friday.

Welcome Back to Shore Middle School!
Textbooks must be covered by Friday, September 5. There are still a few students who haven't covered their textbook. Students have learned how to track their American Studies grade with a grade sheet.
Week two students will learn how to access their textbook on-line. Students will meet in the computer lab on Thursday and Friday. We will team up with Mr. Butterfield's classes to learn how to navigate through the holt online American Studies textbook. Students will be given their ID code that will enable students to access their textbook at home.
Weeks three and four students will research chapter two and plan together in groups of four to create a monopoly board and game pieces. Students will learn research skills and practice cooperative learning. The culminating activity will be playing the monopoly game they created. Guidelines and a rubric will be attached to my blog page.
