Students,
As per the official Seguin ISD academic policy, today we took our retest for Unit 3. This allows those students who made a failing grade a chance to make up some points and get a passing grade(maximum new grade of a 70). We as a district feel that this is the best way for students to prove mastery of a subject and provide opportunities to pass for those who need it.
If you passed my test, we did a Venn Diagram activity with the physical features of the United States and Canada. These were nothing new and most of you breezed through them very quickly.
The challenge today came from our reading. Slogging through academic texts may seem like a chore while you are reading them however, the ability to read dense academic text and extract the vital information that you could potentially be tested on is a crucial skill for any college student regardless of subject area. While I will not force a textbook down your throats every day of the year, I will expect you to learn and demonstrate you ability to utilize this skill from time to time. Believe it or not you will thank me later.
Documents: No relevant documents today
Announcements: Unit four test on Thursday, October 17th.
Looking Forward: Tomorrow we will begin looking at the Human Geography of North America, in particular we will be examining migration patterns of humans across the United States. If you would like to prepare for the lesson feel free to investigate any or all of the following subjects; Homestead Act, Transcontinental Railroad, or The Dust Bowl.
