Here’s what’s up today:

1. I’ll be taking page numbers today and be ready to share with me what you’ll be reading over vacation; you are responsible for 260 pages by the time we get back after vacation.

2. Each group needs to finish and share your graphic organizer created on Google Docs with me.

3. Your graphic organizer notes will be collected at the end of class.

4. You need to complete learning log #3 and share it with me. Here’s the prompt:

Summarize what you learned about Egypt since we began following this story two weeks ago. Your summary should be written using Times New Roman and 12 point font. Proofread your response out loud in your head for GUMS. Your entry should be a minimum of 12 sentences. If questions makes more sense and help you to dig deeper, here are some to think about:

What did you learn about Egypt from all the sites you read, viewed, and studied? What surprised you why? How did your background knowledge about world affairs change after keeping track of a breaking news story over the past two weeks? How important was this event in your opinion? What similiarities did the uprising in Tunisia and Egypt share in common?

5. When you are finished with the above, read your book or read today’s New York Times.

We will continue to follow the story in Egypt and the protest that has spread to other nearby countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Be ready for a test on all of this after vacation.
