And this is why when we tell you to practice a drill, your cells phones need to be SILENT, YOU need to be SILENT, you must move to here you have been told IMMEDIATELY, and you must follow ALL directions given by the teacher in the classroom you're in.  Any attention you bring - laughing, talking, sneezing, coughing, a cell phone buzzing or ringing...can all be the difference between living to go home that day or leaving in a body bag. 

Yes, it's really that serious. 

2 more kids who got up & went to school this morning are not going home.  Don't ever let it be you, and don't ever perform an action that causes someone else to never go home again.

TEST TODAY: Friday, 11/17, Chapter 24 Exam

Your Chapter 24 Exam will be on Friday, 11/17.  The Quizlet Review has been open since October 18th.  If you have been in class, paid attention, done your homework, and study you should do very well on the test.  STUDY THE REVIEW IN QUIZLET - it was made using the material on your exam.  Remember to review Ch 22 & 23 as well, since it will also be on your exam.

Make up dates are Nov. 20 & 21, 6:50 - 7:15 am.  It is a full period exam, make up session ends at 7:30 am so be as early as possible for maximum time.  Failure to make-up the exam will result in a zero for that test.  Cuts & illegal absences cannot be made up, and anyone late to class will not receive extra time on the exam.

1st Marking Period is over...

I am in the process of catching up with grading & entering it into Thinkwave.  It should all be done by Tuesday (maybe earlier.)  As a reminder, tomorrow is the last day of the 1st MP for my grade book.  All work as of Monday, 11/6, will be for the 2nd MP.  This means that as soon as Thinkwave is updated (1) your grades for the MP will be finalized & (2) grades will be entered into Eschool for your report card.  Please be sure you have looked at Thinkwave in case I have made an error in your grades.  Nothing will be changed after Monday, 11/6.

Starting Immediately

It is November, and I am tired of repeating myself.  I am not asking for expensive items that your parents have to buy or even get to the store on a regular basis for.  I am asking for things that cost nothing OR cost less than shoelaces.  I am willing to bet a pen & a highlighter are, in fact, the least expensive things on your person during the school day, and yet many of you seem to feel that these necessary & required supplies are not that necessary.  So, moving forward, you will have a weekly Classwork grade, which will be an average of each school day that week.  Missing any of these items (or not having them when directed to turn to them) will cause a loss in all points for the day.  So, it is 100 or 0.  To be clear, you must have with you for every class:

1. A standard blue or black pen (I suggest at least 2 in case one runs out on you)
2. A working highlighter (any color)
3. Your notes
4. Your handouts (which should be in your binder with the notes for the chapter that the handouts are about)
In addition, being ate to class without an acceptable-to-me excuse OR an illegal absence will result n a zero for that day.  Late hall, need to get an ID, something I did not approve, no one has called you in sick...all unacceptable.  Not paying attention, head down, not doing work as directed, phone goes off during class, even if collected, talking to others in class & not on task...all unacceptable.  Legal absences will not be counted & your weekly average will be divided only by the remaining days in the week (so if in 4 days, I will divide by 4 instead of 5.)

Examples:
#1: In a 5-day school week you were in class, on time, and had everything needed for every day.  You paid attention & did your work as assigned.  100 for all 5 days = 100 for week.

#2.  Absent Monday, no one calls you in sick. (0)  Late to class Tuesday.  (0)  No highlighter Thursday. (0)  Wednesday & Friday you were prepared (100 each.)  200 divided by 5 days = grade of 40 for the week.

#3.  Legally absent Monday & Tuesday.  Prepared Wednesday & Thursday, but can;t find handouts on Friday.  3 days of school, 200 divided by 3 = 67.

Any questions?  Please see me before or after class.  Questions about your specific issues?  See me before school.

REMINDER!!!!

Be sure you are looking at ALL due dates!  Works posted today (October) but due in November will NOT show up in the  "November" menu n the blog.  It goes by date POSTED, NOT date due!  Be sure you are scrolling through "older posts" so you don't miss anything.

DUE: Monday, 11/6 Ch 25 Sec 3 & 4 Notes

HAND COPY all notes into your binder.  You will have a quiz USING THESE NOTES at the start of class on the due date.  If you are late, you cannot make it up.  If you are illegally absent or cut, you cannot make it up.  If you are legally absent, you have until Thursday, 10/12 to come before school to show me your notes.  Follow the make-up procedure given out in class.  If you fail to make up the work by the deadline, you will earn a 0.

Make up for legal absences is before school (per my make-up policy) is Monday - Wednesday, Oct. 30, 31, & Nov.1  Failure to make-up the exam will result in a zero for that test.  Cuts & illegal absences cannot be made up, and anyone late to class will not receive extra time on the exam.

I was told today...

Lots of Missing HW, Lots of Incorrect Quizlet :(

As of 6:40 this evening, 9/10 only 30 of the 90 of you have viewed the HW post for tomorrow.  Not sure what the rest of you are waiting for, but you will, indeed, receive a zero with no make up if you do not have the work as directed.

As of this post, all valid Quizlet requests have been approved & entered into Thinkwave.  If you requested to join but don't have an approval, look over the direction because it's likely you're one of the many people who did not follow them the first time. :(  Fix it before 2 pm Tuesday!

See you tomorrow!

IMPORTANT UPDATES: READ ME!!! :)

A few reminders & updates for you:

• As of this post (11:12 am, 9/9) all Quizlet requests have been approved.  If you requested to join and do NOT have an approval (or cannot view your class), you did not follow the directions regarding acceptable user names & your request has been "ignored."  If this is you, you will need to fix it & send me an email that it is now in compliance as Quizlet will not send me another email regarding your request to join.  In addition, someone joined the wrong class (last year's) - you will need to make sure you have requested 2017-2018.  If you sent a request already but still don't have access, check your request OR request to join the correct class.  The due date on this is 9/12, 2 pm.  
• You need to log into Thinkwave (& change your password while you're there) by 9/18, 2 pm.
• Your HWQ (homework quiz) will be at the start of your class.  You will be using your HW (the and-copied notes), anything other than YOUR hand-copied notes will be confiscated & earn a 0.  Late to class = 0 on HWQ, no make-up per policy.
• I recorded all of the signed forms into Thinkwave yesterday afternoon.  There were 3 total.  The breakdown is this: 100 = all is well, than you.  75 = you left parts bank or did not complete the form.  0 = too much was incomplete, your name was missing, I could not read your name, or you never turned it in.  You have one FINAL chance to earn some credit by turning them in BEFORE FIRST PERIOD on Monday.  I will be in 1825.  Anything after the 1st period bell will not receive a grade change.  The change if your forms are compete, is from the 0 currently entered to a 65.  Not sure what you did?  Its in Thinkwave.

Have a great rest of the weekend.  See you Monday!

(PS - I see as of now only SIX of you have even looked at the HW due Monday.  If you do not do your HW, you will likely fail the marking period.  Don't wait until the last minute because I don;t accept excuses!!!)

A note about the links in these posts...

If you can't "click" on the links in the homework posts, be sure you copy & paste them into a new window.  All links are valid, and the "it didn't work when I clicked on it" excuse will earn you a 

0 for that work.  

Fair warning...

TEST TODAY: Wednesday, 9/28 Ch 22 Exam

Your Chapter 22 Exam will be on Wednesday, 9/27.  The Quizlet Review has been open since September 8th.  If you have been in class, paid attention, done your homework, and study you should do very well on the test.  STUDY THE REVIEW IN QUIZLET - it was made using the material on your exam.

Make up for legal absences is before school (per my make-up policy), last day to make up is Friday, 9/29.  Failure to make-up the exam will result in a zero for that test.  Cuts & illegal absences cannot be made up, and anyone late to class will not receive extra time on the exam.

The test will NOT be a full period so please bring your regular required supplies with you to class that day.

QUIZ TODAY: Tuesday, 9/26 Ch 22 Vocab

Vocabulary Quiz on these on Tuesday, 9/26.  Your words will be due at that time.  You may write them out as a list on paper OR you may write each on a flash card (use a flashcard for the required homework heading.)   Required homework heading must be used.  Use your knowledge, notes, online textbook, handouts, or the Internet to find the definitions.

Homework Heading (required on all work submitted):
Your Name                                                   Global II
Class Period                                                Assignment
(in this case, your assignment is Ch 22 Vocab)

If you are making flashcards they MUST be rubber-banded together BEFORE submitting AND BEFORE the bell rings (there are rubber bands behind my desk - ask me!), and you top card must be a heading card (see above.)  You will get extra credit for making flash cards.
