Homework due October 18th 2012

7th Grade:  Students have a handout on the Gettysburg Address due on Thursday.  This allows them 2 days to complete the assignment and ask any questions they have about the 7 questions on the back of the paper.

8th Grade:  Students have 3 questions to answer on Democrats vs. Republicans.  They are using the Junior Scholastic magazine for the questions as well as the rest of the assignment due on Thursday.  The following bullet points are the requirements:

• List the main differences between Democrats and Republicans
• Name the Presidential candidates and their running mates for the 2012 election
• In your own words explain each candidates position on the main issues facing our country.
• Have all definitions from both articles, the article on the presidential election and the article on China.
• Read Article on China pg. 8 -11
•  name 5 things you need to know about China and explain, in your own words, what you learned about each point.
• Answer the 5 questions on pg. 11 in complete sentences.
• On the back cover of the Junior Scholastics are 4 short answer questions and 5 multiple choice questions.  Answer all these questions!  You may answer the questions on the back cover of the magazine, however, I prefer the answers in your notebook.

Any questions let me know,

Thanks,

Ms. Van
