For the week of January 8 - 12	Scheduling week for Freshmen - open house for parents of current freshmen on Jan 11- 6:30 - 8:00 Begin chapter 10 - Volcanoes We will not spend a great deal of time in this chapter - notes the first week, some classroom activities, and the viewing of Dante's Peak Students will be required to type a 2-3 page paper paralleling the movie to the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980. I will sufficiently prepare them for this and provide background material for Mt. St. Helens. This paper is extremely important as it will take the place of the volcanoes chapter test. If a student does not complete the paper, they will earn a 0% test grade.
For the week of January 15 - 19	Students should have been taking good notes on Dante's Peak. The final paper is due January 26 for the Maroon class and January 27 for the Gold class. This is the equivalent of a test grade and is due on time. Homework this week is the vocab. worksheet for chapter 9, due next class period.
