//www.goldenvalleyhs.org/apps/classes/527159/assignments/ Class Name: Mod Civ - Periods 3, 5 Instructor(s): Kate Povletich Location: Room 203 en-us SchoolSitePro //www.goldenvalleyhs.org/homeworkItem3045581 //www.goldenvalleyhs.org/apps/classes/527159/assignments/ Week of April 8-12
* I apologize for not keeping up with the posting this week. I have been struggling with a cold and am also a single parent while my husband is out of town for work. As a result, I have not been keeping up with grading or my website as much as I would like. I should be able to get everything caught up over the weekend so we'll be back on track.

* This week students have been working through changes in China after WWII and wrapping up the Cold War. They have been working on the CST Review - Cluster 5 the past few days in preparation for their Benchmark Exam on this cluster on MONDAY!!! The CST Review - Cluster 5 is due when they come in to class on Monday to take the test.

HOMEWORK
I have not been giving any homework beyond their work on the CST Review Packets. With STAR testing looming next week (the CST in History is on Thursday), Students have received reviews of the CA Standards so they can prepare for the STAR test. As of Friday afternoon, they should have turned in Clusters 1 & 2 which I will grade over the weekend. They have also received Clusters 3 & 5. Cluster 5 is due Monday and Cluster 3 is due on Wednesday. I did not give them a review for Cluster 4 (Russian Revolution and WWII) because we did a thorough review of this cluster after the last benchmark. Students will get those review packets back to help them study for the CST.
