4th History Assignments &
Instructions
- 2007-2008
History is scheduled for
Monday/Wednesday/Friday
WORK IN TEXT BOOK
-
Answer the questions
in THINK ABOUT IT
-
Do the best you
can. Some answers are very difficult to find.
-
The "hunt" for the
answer is also a valuable skill.
-
The student is
responsible for answering all the questions in COMPLETE SENTENCES and
RESTATING the question in the answer.
-
Use NO PRONOUNS.
-
Underline the part
of the sentence(s) that is the answer.
-
The student will have
a book for SCHOOL and a book for HOME.
READ:
-
Read aloud the selection with your
child.
-
Use this as a time to answer/ask
questions.
-
Have your child write a response in
COMPLETE SENTENCES.
-
Since one purpose for this
assignment is to encourage parents and student to dialogue, the assignment is
not complete, if the student reads without the parent. Some of the READs are
difficult.
-
Neither the student nor you are
required to understand everything you read. Do the best you can.
-
It is not necessary to spend a long
time on these assignments.
-
Allow the student to give their
answers, even when you think there may be a better answer.
SKIM:
-
Student is to SKIM their text book
and write a 50+ word response in complete sentences.
-
Skimming is not reading.
-
The purpose of SKIM is to provide
the student with a quick overview of the text.
-
This is always a good practice in
any subject.
MEMorization:
-
Student will write
the passages on Monday of each week at the beginning of class. They are not
allowed to study in class before writing. Time given to write the verse will
be limited.
-
They may use any translation. They
will receive credit for close approximations as long as the main ideas are
listed.
-
For a 100 they MUST have the
passages quoted accurately and have the translation listed. If it is not the
KJV, GN, or NIV they must provide a copy of the translation for comparison.
