Wednesday, November 16 - Civil War Projects Due
November 21-25 – Thanksgiving Break
November 30 - Key Dates Test
Thanksgiving break is just around the corner. If you're looking for something educational to do the weekend before, here's an idea:
At the Liendo Plantation in Hempstead, TX, you can step back in time for an up close and personal look at life during the period of the American Civil War. Held annually the weekend before Thanksgiving, Civil War Weekend is an event with period life demonstrations, activities, and Civil War reenactors and historians who portray the many sides of life during a war that divided our nation. Check it out: Civil War Weekend

Grammar
We'll be talking about editing this week. Please challenge your students to edit their writing. When they write narrations or paragraphs, if you see spelling or punctuation errors, use it as a teaching opportunity. Challenge them to find a few spelling errors or missing punctuation, and help them to make corrections. This is a great opportunity to review or reinforce spelling rules and help them learn correct punctuation in a very practical way.
History
Students will continue working on a Civil War lapbook or presentation board instead of writing a history narration this week and next. Projects due 11/16. More information can be found here.
Students who are due to create a timeline figure are listed in red in the above table after the lesson number. The following class day, they will show the class the figure, tell 2-3 important points about the lesson, and place their figure on the classroom timeline.
