The Test Tomorrow

So, we have finally come down to test day! I know you guys are probably nervous, but just relax and go over ALL of your notes. You need to know about THE KEY PLAYERS during the war and don't worry about insignificant things like how many soldiers entered the war. Don't worry so much about FACTS. You NEED to worry about the SIGNIFICANCE of things. Make sure you go over your notes because most likely it will be on the test. 

I will be in the classroom ten to eight, so if you want to come in a little early to study THATS OKAY! Also, if you put SPEAKEASY in bold letters on the top of your test, I will give you a bonus point. Its to commend you for coming to this site and taking the time to go over material. Don't tell anyone! This is strictly just for YOU! 

By the way, I had to take away your privilege of posting comments. I wanted you guys to talk about RELEVANT material. Sigh. Why do students always engage in foolishness? Anywho, good luck tomorrow. 

Talk to you later,

Mrs. Simmons

YOU CAN POST COMMENTS!

You can finally post comments! I finally got this thing to work. SO, you can go back and add some comments if you want. Please do NOT post any inappropriate things or derogatory statements! DON'T post negative comments about other people! If you guys do, then I will have to shut it down. As you know, this has happened to me before...in Brooklyn. LOL. You guys are too much.

Talk to you later,

Mrs. Simmons

Do the Homework!

I just wanted to say you guys did an excellent job today. You guys were engaged and having great discussions. Germany was obviously the best dressed, so thank you for that. I have to say that Kelly, overall had the best costume! lol. You guys are too much. 

Make sure you guys complete the homework tonight. You know, the sheet with the maps of Europe? I will be checking to see if it was complete in the morning, so MAKE SURE ITS DONE!

Talk to you later,

Mrs. Simmons

Your Paragraph...

If you guys are having trouble citing your sources for the paragraph, this site will help you:

Don't stress too much about the paragraph. Just make sure you have proof to whatever it is that you are saying! For example, if you are going to say that Johnny's eyes are green, make sure you PROVE that his eyes are green either by quotes, statistics or by a reference (textbook, movie etc...). Also, make sure each paragraph is in chronological order. For example, in the first paragraph write about something that happened in March of 1917. In the second paragraph write about something that happened in 1918 etc... 

Oh by the way, I marked your comic strips and boy did some of them make me laugh! You guys are so funny. I will hand them back on Monday.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Mrs. Simmons
