Week 18

Hello All!

We are in our final two weeks of school and it is crunch time! 

The date for late work has past, however several students have some tests and quizzes they need to make up.  Make up tests and quizzes must be completed this week.  Any test or quiz that has not been made up by Friday will become a zero. 

This week Reading Folders are due on Wednesday.  Since the late work deadline has past, late work will not be accepted.  Folders must be completed through chapter 13.  Folders will be graded on an all or nothing basis for each assignment.  For example, for your Reading Journal portion of your Reading Folder, you were asked to have 2-3 quotes with deep, meaningful responses for each chapter.  If you have a quote but no response you will not get credit for that quote.  If you have a response that does not analyze the quote you will not get credit for that response.  However, if you follow the directions as described in the blue packet, you should earn full credit. 

The study guide for the final should be on the Resource Page on Wednesday.  [[edit: It is there now.]]

We only have a couple of assignments left.  Please make sure you keep up with these because they cannot be accepted late.  What we have left, as stated on Pinnacle, are Activators set 9 (82-89), DGP week 16, and the Reading Folders. 

This week's word of the week is velociraptor.  Write it on a scrap of paper and turn it in to me for a ticket.  You'll get an extra ticket if you tell me the average height of a velociraptor and a third ticket if you tell me what this height tells you about movies and literature.
