Math :
Students need to hand in their assignment on order of operation this week.
The Math Test for this chapter (rational numbers) is Thursday October 3rd.
We will start a new chapter on exponent laws next week.
Science:
Students have now spent 3 days doing a project proposal and
2 full class periods to research and work on their space projects. They should
have at least one good reference and half a page of point form notes on average
per full work period. They will have 10 periods in total until their projects
are due. The questions that students have chosen to answer for their projects
are very interesting and proving to be very eye opening for students.
LA:
Language Power 1-8 should be completed by Friday 4th. Students should also be planning & writing their own poem, based on the one we read in class:
If By Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can ll the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son.
