We did not get as far through this week's plans as I had anticipated. Therefore, the students will not be creating an ad to get British citizens in the 1700's to come to Georgia and the outline for pages 76-84 until a later date.
Next week we will be taking a break from history, and will be studying about the 50 states and the election process in preparation for the Student Forum Presidential Elections. More information on this will be in the blog next week.
Thanks

Lesson Plans - week of Oct. 17-21, 2005
**Classes are shortened this week due to conferences. Each class will meet for about 40 minutes.
Monday:
1. Present RAFT activities for chapter 5 and turn in.
2. Start “Create A Colony” - teacher selects members of each group randomly using cards with numbers. There will be 3 students in each group. Each group needs to come up with a colony name before leaving today and design a folder to store all work.
Tuesday: This schedule is a guide for the students to follow so that not much needs to be done outside of class (if the groups work well together). The final project is due on or before next Friday (Oct. 28th).
1. Continue with “Create A Colony” - each group needs to be finished with 3-4 sections by the end of class today. The parts of the project will be put in a folder that is labeled with the colony name and group members (and class period). This will make it easier for groups to hang on to all of their materials.
Wednesday:
1. Continue with “Create A Colony” - each group needs to be finished with at least 2 more assignments (totaling 5-6 assignments).
Thursday:
1. Continue with “Create A Colony” - each group needs to be finished up with at least 8 sections of the project by the end of class.
Friday:
1. Continue with “Create A Colony”- groups need to be wrapping up their project. The flags will be hung for all to see (and possibly vote on the best). The final projects will be due next Friday (very little more class time will be allotted for this activity - students may need to work outside of class to finish (or to add final touches like tea stains or burning or even typing papers)).
