4 Achieve3000 Articles due 11/7 (by 11:59 p.m.)

Here are the four articles emailed to you Monday, 10/27.  You have until 11/7.
As discussed earlier in class this week, this is your only homework.  We also read the articles in class and discuss them.  Therefore, late Achieve 3000 work will not be accepted.
Many students have already completed all four articles as of today, 10/31.  Good work!
 
A3000 #1: New Coin Remembers Hawaii's History
A3000 #2: Hawaii's Early Settlers
A3000 #3: The Land and the Sea
A3000 #4: The Great Mahele
 
Do only the "activity" questions. Do your best. Only "first try" scores will count: 75%=1/1, 88%=1.1, 100%=1.2. Scores below 75% will be given as scored: 50% = .5/1, 33%=.33, etc.
You must complete them by 11:59 pm on Friday, Nov.7. Late work will not be accepted for Teenbiz.
Your class is entered in the TeenBiz contest (1 contest point. for 75%, 2 pts. for 88%, 3 pts. for 100%) which ends Nov. 21.

Mini-Quiz: Hawaiian Islands 10/17 (pd.1- 10/16)

You need to draw the 8 main Hawaiian Islands by memory, label the islands and 6 main towns (Hilo, Honolulu, Lanai City, Kaunakakai, Lihue, and Wailuku).

Spelling counts! No retakes so study well.

Social Studies Manila Folder

Keep all of your social studies work in here after you receive it back after it has been scored and recorded.  You may borrow assignments to study for a test and then you must RETURN it to the folder.  Keep the manila folder in D8 at all times.  You will use it for 8th grade papers, too.

I will provide you with a manila folder.  Neatly Print your first and last name and period on the top half of the tab.  You may use your own manila folder if you wish.
