Hello MacArthur 8th Graders!
I'm sorry I couldn't make it to school today. Try to have a good day without me. Please smile and fist pump your classmates and be extra nice to your substitute. Here is your "work" below (or "fun" depending on how you look at it.) :) 1. Complete answering the questions for Chapter 13, found on the post right below this one. You can use the downloadable text written by a master teacher, or, you can use the text that is located on the student table. Please return this text to the table at the end of class. 2. Go to this link, read the amazingly well written current event, and answer the questions. Read both articles on immigration and answer the questions. 3. Go to this link, and watch the current event videos and ponder their meaning. Have an excellent weekend, and I'll see you Monday. Mr. De Gree

Copy the quote and write in your own words what you think this quote has to do with American history:
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Hint: An apple is a fruit that grows on a tree, the apple tree. When it falls, it doesn't fall far from the tree. In many ways, when people describe children, they notice that when children become adults, they resemble their parents. Or, in history, if one country (the "mother country") founded a colony, the colony looks very similar to the mother country. |
