SOCIAL STUDIES

Today in Social Studies we began work on the end of the chapter assessment.  This is a series of multiple choice, matching and fill in the blank questions. It is an OPEN BOOK test as the students are required to put the page number of where they found the answer.  One purpose of this assessment is to reinforce the concept of backing up your answers with proof.   This concept can be hard for some (especially when they just 'know' the right answer :)  but the correct page number is required to receive full credit for the answer.  We will continue with this testing tomorrow in class.
