This week, we are finishing work on averages, line plots, and coordinate graphs and line graphs. Ask
your student what these different concepts are, and how they might be used in real-world
application!

Students are working on their (in-class) final project for The Narrative of Frederick Douglass,
An American Slave! Students will be able to bring materials from home, and may choose to
work independently or in groups; presentations will be Thursday and Friday! All Frederick
Douglass questions turned in today have been graded and returned. Check in with your student to
find out which final project they have chosen and what their grade was on their Frederick
Douglass questions!

We are continuing our study of the factors leading to The Civil War. Students are responsible for
completing notes on sections 11-17 independently. All notes for chapters will be due in class April

sections!

missing/ incomplete assignments are due by the 22nd!
