Hello, everyone! Today's the day I get a tube in my ear, and hopefully will be able to hear again the next time I see you! While I'm having all that taken care of, here's what you'll be doing:

To be successful today, you will need:
 * chrome book
 * headphones
 * pencil
 * assignment book
 * quia login and password
 * brainpop login and password (on the whiteboard for you)
 * your social studies book (yes, really, social studies)
 * a piece of notebook paper (your own or from the "lined paper" drawer in the supply station)

Step 1: Watch this video to get tonight's homework and find out what you'll be doing today. If there is a problem with the video, you can always hop over to my homework page to see it.

Step 2: Next week, you're going to be learning all about the big Medieval Project we're doing. One of the things you'll need to do in order to be successful at that project is outlining. So today, you're going to do some things to refresh your memory about outlining.

First, take a look at this brainpop video. You will need to log in to watch it - the login and password are written on the white board for you!

Step 3: Let's see how well you learned the basics of outlining. Head over to quia and take this quiz. You will need to log in when you get there with your quia login and password. You will have two tries, and the best score WILL GO in home access, so do your best!

Step 4: Terrific! Now, let's try something a little more tricky. Grab your social studies book and open it up to pages 506-511. Pick ANY topic on these pages that interests you and write a brief outline about it. You should have at least ONE Roman numeral, at least THREE capital letters, and at least THREE Arabic numbers (normal numbers) in the outline. So, at least something like this: I. xxxxx A. xxxxxxxxxx 1. xxxxxxxxxx 2. xxxxx B. xxxxxxxxxx 1. xxxxx C.

Write your outline on notebook paper. I will be working with these with you tomorrow, so make sure you have it done!

Step 5: If you finish everything and still have time, you may work on any of the following:
 * Grammar packet parts 8, 9, 10, and 11
 * Take an ARP test/write a summary
 * Study for your Getting to the Root of it Test
 * Other homework
 * Read
