Social Studies News Week of: Jan. 3rd

This week in Social Studies we'll be starting our last unit of the year: The Origins of Islam.  This is an especially applicable unit based on Current Events of recent years.  This unit will be out of a textbook that will stay in the classroom (not the yellow one students have had all semester.)  Students will still be able to check out that book if necessary, but we should have time in class to finish assignments.  We'll have a few assignments due this week:

-Thurs: Map of the Middle East & Ch. 9 Sec. 1 Assignment
-Fri: Google Maps-Middle East & Middle East Conflict Video Questions
