February is upon us and so is our preparation for Night of the Notables. I know it seems like a lot of time is being allowed for this project - but it's sort of like a wedding....a lot of thought should go into selecting a Notable - initial plans for the future event are put in place - some work takes place along the way - and then the last few weeks are crazy and hectic right up to the big day. Night of the Notables is very much this way. Please look for updates on due dates --- each student has a packet with an check list of sorts. Our first due date is this Friday - I will simply be checking with each student to make sure they have found a variety of resources and that they are documenting their sources and taking notes as they go.

We are in the mix between WSH and Civics right now. The Bill of Rights will be covered as we finish up Japanese American Internment. Ch. 10 and 11 will be fairly quick - and the state govt. info will be covered later on in Civics.

Ch. 10 questions are due this Th. and the quiz will follow on Friday.
