Week ending September 30

SS: HW Read over your notes and study (practice with) the 12 vocabulary words.
This week we finished going over section 1 of chapter 20 answering the following questions:
1: What was it like to be an immigrant coming to US (in early 1900s)
2: Describe a typical tenement.
Now we are reading section 2 about the growth of cities due to immigration.

English HW: I returned their rough draft of their CARE essay and students began improving it in class today.  Students will be expected to have it done by Monday.  Since they cannot really work on it easily at home, they should at least brainstorm ideas and/or plot out things that they expect to write when they return.
