Week 18 Newspaper


     This week there has been limited time to work in the computer lab and some students have asked if they could work on their newspaper assignment at home.  I thought this was a great suggestion!  I have attached the pdf file for the newspaper in case some students forgot to take their newspaper home.  On the last page of the newspaper is an online assignment about runes.  Students need to write a message in runes so that students tomorrow can decode it.  The website for that is: www.omniglot.com/writing/runic.htm .  Students can also read and listen to all the newspaper articles for this week online at: http://www.estudiesweekly.com . After you are at this site, create your student's own personal and private account by clicking on to the pink box, and the for the access code, type: ancient.  You will then be able to set up your child's account.  For the username please type in first and last name in lowercase with no spaces, ex:terrigoff.  The password is ancient.   Students can also once signed in take the weekly quiz online.  I will open up the testing window for the Unit 18 test tonight and close it by 9am tomorrow morning.
