Yes - we are watching this series TWTh. I am going nuts losing students for testing and activities - it's actually kind of ridiculous. So, You will have a "viewer's guide" (also known as a worksheet) for each part. All three will be due Friday. This way, if you miss class, you can bring your flash drive, grab a guide, and watch at home.
On Friday, you'll have a 90-slide test on PLACES and CITIES. It will be timed (45 minutes to watch and match) followed by 10 minutes to enter your test into the clickers. Please Study.
We'll debrief the PENNY CITIES and GG&S next week - after Memorial Day.
Lastly - I changed the grades on the portal - the tests are now shown with RAW scores rather than percentages. I'll input other things later this week.
What do you think of Jesse?

Mr. Romo, my i-pod was on that setting already.... My brother had used it for that purpose... Don't know why it didn't work
ReplyDeleteYou're the only teacher with a blog system, so i'l have to put my english stuff here too.
ReplyDeleteMurrrrr (pronounced like myrrh), also spelled Merrrrr. Other spelling variations are known to exist.
interjection: Used in a matter similar to the phrases, “What’s up, pal?”, “How’s it going?” ,“I’m glad to see you ”,“Hi!” ,etc.
non-sense word: Used in a conversation when neither party knows what to say. Some people use it because they feel that no other word in the English language can express their sentiment, so they go with Murrrrr. This word is commonly associated with Joe Hanson.
NOW YOU KNOW
NATES VIDEO IS HILARIOUS.
ReplyDeletei have to leave at 230 on friday for baseball. what should i do about the test
ReplyDeleteMay boils fester over your entire body while I pour sulfuric acid down your throut using a glass funnel...meanwhile, I have you perched atop a cast-iron replica of Tlaloc with a roaring fire heating you to the point of almost exploding in fire. ..but not quite yet. For before I pour that acid into your awaiting esophogus and innards, I am slowly pulling EVERY fingernail, nose-hair, eyebrow hair, and tooth with tweezers and/or pliers.
ReplyDeleteThen I tell you to come take the test either earlier in the day (teacher permission, of course) or before school. Or maybe I should let you decide BEFORE I begin my elaborate set-up.
"Al Kaydahh" (pronounciation failure)
ReplyDeletestopped watching it there
hey mr. romo, for the test on friday, do we need to put down WHERE the "monument-thing" is on the test too? or just what it is called.
ReplyDeletethanks
megan
simply what it is...it's matching, not writing
ReplyDeleteBoom! Ventura laying down the verbal piledriver to the ladies on the view. Now there's a governor. major props to jesse for tellin it like it is even though it wasnt quite the right setting. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura two governors who don't mess around when it comes to politics
ReplyDeletecan you tell me the link for part two of guns germs and steel because i tried to find it and i am confused.
ReplyDeletehey for the test on friday do we just have to identify the landmark or do we have to know where the landmark is?
ReplyDeleteyou'll compare it to a slide. so if slide #3 is the space needle then you put #3 for the space needle area.
ReplyDeleteAre the guns germs and steel worksheets due Thursday or Friday?
ReplyDeletewhats nate's video? can someone put up the URL??
ReplyDeleteJesse ventura has to be one of my favorite politicians ever. People have asked him to run for president in the last few elections and if he went in I would support him all the way. Although he lives in mexico away from electricity and contact most of the time now he really should come back and do more interviews and rallies etc...
ReplyDeleteFrances - READ BEFORE YOU ASK!!!
ReplyDeleteGG&S - "Stuff" will be debriefed Tuesday.
GG&S - Go to GoogleVideo and Search Guns Germs Steel (then a 1, 2, or 3 depending on which of the 3 eps you need/want)
Nate's Video: Check comments in a previous post.
okay thanks
ReplyDeleteooops sorryy
ReplyDeleteMan Jesse puts Pawlenty to shame. He totally put the lady Kristen Wiig plays on SNL in her place. He should be prez.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's so funny that everybody's against her but she still tries to be right even though she's obviously wrong.
Oh btw Jesse and Schwarzenegger are great in that movie Predator. They are/were great governors too.
ReplyDeleteJeese Ventura is officially my hero. Just layin' down the line. What up? I'm Jesse Ventura, guess what, you're wrong, I'm right.
ReplyDeleteIf waterboarding's okay... then perhaps that lady on the view should be waterboarded.
