Core is the mixture of History and English. The students have them for to periods and do both english and history. We get both history and english homework but really we would get both homework any way. Even if we didnt have Core class. The history homework is kind of hard and we have to take notes on the history book. We are reading a book called Shabanu its a book about a muslim girl who goes through a life changing adventure. We had to write a poem and we have to pick a scene from the book and write a poem about it.
In history we've beeen learning about the romans and we are starting right now on the people of Africa. The way we learn and keep a record of what we do. We students use cornell notes. It's a way to take bullets about what ever it is we are learning about and then we summarize it. Then we turn it in to the teacher. But we have to do it as homework and we have to read the history book. For ELA we have like these packets called SVG and we have to do this every night for homework. it has activities for us to do and has questions and a bunch of stuff . Of course it is all about english and using grammar and all of that. Fter the whole packet is complete, this usually takes about two weeks. Then we grade it by giving it to other students. Then we give it to the teacher to put the grade in the grade book, or enter it into atlas. In history we learn about the Romans, Africa, and then I think it's China.
