Chapter 11 - Lesson 2 Guided Reading and A, B, C's of the Texas Revolution Books Due (Regular Classes)
The students finished reading Lesson 2 of Chapter 11 in class today and then began work on the Guided Reading sheet for that section. This Guided Reading will be taken up and graded at the beginning of the period tomorrow.
Also, due tomorrow are the A, B, C's of the Texas Revolution books (regular classes only). I will allow the students time to work on them in class tomorrow and MIGHT be persuaded to extend the due date until next Monday if everyone works hard, behaves and is productive tomorrow.
Below is the Guided Reading sheet for Lesson 2. The instructions for the A, B, C's of the Texas Revolution can be found on the post from January 30th.

Chapter 11 - Lesson 1 Complete (Notes and Guided Reading)
We started Chapter 11- The Alamo and Goliad this week. Today, we wrapped up Lesson 1 of the chapter. Attached below you will find some notes over Lesson 1 that the students can use as a study guide as well as the Guided Reading sheet they were assigned. The students have also done a vocabulary assignment at this point.
Please double check with your student and make sure they are up to date on all of their work. I would highly recommend they go online and take the Chapter 11 - Lesson 1 Self Check Quiz. It is very likely they will see these questions again in the near future.

Jury Duty Continues, Chapter 10 Exam Tomorrow
I was out serving on a jury again today. I will also be out tomorrow as the trial continues. I am very hopeful that it will wrap up tomorrow and I will be back in the classroom on Thursday (fingers crossed).
In the meantime, we have to stay on something resembling a schedule. That being the case, the Chapter 10 Test will be given to the students tomorrow. The sub today should have reminded the students about the test. Students should do very well if they are familiar with the vocabulary terms and their meanings, how to use those terms (vocabulary builder worksheet), the Guided Reading worksheets from Lessons 1, 2, and 3 of Chapter 10 and the Lessons 1, 2, and 3 Self-check quizzes found in Chapter 10 on the online textbook.
Please do all you can to ensure your student is ready for this test tomorrow.

A, B, C's of the Texas Revolution Book, Test Coming Up Wednesday
I was out today due to a jury duty summons. As luck would have it, I was selected to serve on a jury and will be out for an additional couple of days (at least). I am going to be depending on the students to be on their best behavior and take a bit more responsibility for their own learning. Here is what I've got laid out for the next two days.
TUESDAY: Students will continue to work on their A, B, C's of the Texas Revolution book. The students were briefed on this assignment last Friday as I knew I would be out on Monday. The students received a handout today with the full instructions. I have attached this handout below in case anyone misplaces their copy.
Additionally, students will be taking their Chapter 10 exams on Wednesday so they will need to prepare accordingly. Normally, I would put them through a review the day before an exam but that will not be possible this time around due to my jury service. The students are going to have to take the responsibility of preparing for the exam on themselves. Students should be familiar with their vocabulary terms and how to use them (Vocabulary Builder worksheet), the Guided Reading exercises for Lessons 1, 2, and 3 of Chapter 10 and the questions/answers to the Self-check quizzes for Lessons 1, 2, and 3 of Chapter 10 (online textbook). If they are familiar with this information they should be fine on the test.
WEDNESDAY: Students will take the Chapter 10 exam. No notes or extra materials of any kind will be allowed for this exam.
Hopefully, I will be back in the classroom on Thursday. Please continue to check the blog for updates.

Out Today, TAG/PAP Concept Poem Assignment
I apologize for not getting the blog updated earlier. A day off to run various errands and attend a doctor's appointment got considerably more serious due to an unexpected death in the family. I have been a bit distracted due to having to handle some details due to this event.
In any case, I was out today and the students had a substitute. The students should have been issued a Guided Reading assignment that covers Lesson 3 of Chapter 10. The plan is to finish that up tomorrow and begin the process of reviewing information from Lesson 2 and 3.
My TAG/PAP classes received an assignment on Tuesday which is detailed below. The assignment is to write a concept poem from the perspective of a Texas colonist turned citizen soldier in the war for independence against Mexico. The full instructions, and an example of how to use the concept poem format, is below. Each TAG/PAP student present this past Tuesday received this exact handout. I did tell the students to change the due date to Thursday, January 26.
