Class Work tomorrow

I have a personal day tomorrow so I will not be in.  However, I have left you work I had scheduled to give you in class.  Directions have been left that you are to work silently & independently, with all work turned in at the end of your class period.  I will be grading it, you will have a zero if it isn't done.  Work quickly & efficiently.  Work will not be accepted late.  Be sure your full name & class period is on all work.

See you Monday.

Thinkwave Entry

Thinkwave has been updated to reflect those of you who have competed the assignment of signing in.  If you have a 0, you have until tonight to sign it & have that changed by me tomorrow.  After tonight, the zero remains.

That's FOUR easy test grades this MP to boost your average:
1. Return signed Expectation (had almost 2 weeks)
2. Return completed Contact form (had almost 2 weeks)
3. Create a free account in Quizlet (had more than 2 weeks)
4. Sign into Thinkwave (you've had at least 10 school days to do this)

That should be 4 100s as test grades.  That should have made it very easy to get a great average for the 1st marking period.  I hope you took advantage of these gifts.

Thinkwave Clarifications

1.  If you have previously signed into to Thinkwave, it is not necessary to sign in again today.  As long as I see you have signed in & changed your password at some point prior to tonight, you've met the assignment criteria.

2.  Anything that is "blank" in Thinkwave is not counted in your average.  It is waiting for a grade or you were exempt from that assignment.  If you were not exempt, did not do it, or did not make it up by the deadline there is a 0, which does count in your average.

DUE Tuesday, 10/8: Signed Thinkwave Printout

You will receive a Thinkwave print out in class tomorrow, 10/3.  You are required to return it to me on Tuesday, 10/8.  It must be signed by your parent/guardian.

There are no outstanding grades for Global as of this posting, including today's HWQs.  If I had to enter report card grades tomorrow, the average in Thinkwave right now is what you have earned.  This is what will be used for our progress reports.

This will count as a test grade: 0 or 100.  You have it on 10/8: 100.  It isn't turned in signed on 10/8, 0.

If you are absent tomorrow you will have to print out your student summary grade report, with all grades & current average, on your own as these sheets will only be available tomorrow in class.  You are not exempt & the deadline will not be extended.

Based on your average you fall into one of 2 categories:
#1:  Keep up the great work!  Your hard work, time & effort really shows & is paying off!

#2: You need a "Plan B," since your plan is not leading you to success.  You cannot pass without being in class, doing your HW, making up work when absent, or studying.  Fix it NOW before it is too late!

I hope you fall into Category #1!  If not, change your ways so you do!

Check September Postings for work due in October!


As a reminder, your work due in October was posted in September, so it will still be listed in September on the right side menu.  It will NOT show up under the October menu.  Please keep this in mind as you look for what's due if you don't start it in advance.  I always post early to give you plenty of time to get the work done at your own pace, but this means that you may need to click on the previous month to see the posting.

Failing or Close? Read Me.

I have never understood the question "How am I failing?"  The answer is almost always "because you didn't do your work."  If you are currently failing the 1st marking period, keep reading:

1. Did you submit your signed & completed Expectation & Contact Form Sheets?  If you did, a 100 is in Thinkwave.  If you did not there is a 0.  If you did not, you have one final chance to turn it the missing form(s) at the start of your class on Wednesday, 10/2.  This is the 3rd extension & will not be pushed further for any reason, including absences.  Forms were given to every student either the 1st day or when you entered our class.  Please find them as necessary & submit.  If not, the 0 stays.

2.  Did you sign up for Quizlet?  If you did, by the deadline, with the appropriate username, yo have 100 entered.  If there is a 0, you did not do one of the required steps above.  You have until Tuesday, 10/1, to fix it for a 65.  No grades will be changed after that date.

Also, if you had a proper username & then changed it, I deleted you.  I check weekly for this, and delete anyone who does not follow the guidelines I set up for Quizlet.

3.  Classwork grades of 0 - if you were legally absent on a day we did classwork, but you have a 0 for the assignment in Thinkwave, you must email me no later than Wednesday, 10/2 to have it changed before progress reports are done.  Your email must have your full name & class period in the subject field to be open or it goes into spam.  Your email must include the date(s) & names of assignments before I'll spend the time looking up your records in Eschool.  You can use the assignment names & dates in Thinkwave.  I will then check your attendance records.  If you are correct, I will remove the 0.  If not, it stays.

4. Absent but never made u the work you missed (not classwork) - sorry.  Deadlines are listed in every assignment.  Once a make up deadline had passed, work is fair game to go back to you &, therefore, no more make ups are allowed.  Those grades will not be changed.  If you fall into this category, please be more responsible regarding deadlines from absences.
