Regents Day Reminders

You MUST:

  • Have your current school ID to enter the building
  • Have at least 2 standard blue or black pens - NO GELS PENS, NO ERASABLE INK.  We will not have pens for you to use so come PREPARED to take & pass your exam.
  • Write AT LEAST SIX PAGES for EACH essay (full front & back of no less than 3 pages for each essay.)  Any less FAILS THE EXAM, ALWAYS
  • Go to the bathroom BEFORE entering the testing room.


You SHOULD:

  • Stop studying at 9 pm the night before
  • Get a good night's sleep
  • Eat a good breakfast breakfast


You CANNOT:

  • Have backpacks, large purses, etc. in the testing area.  If you bring them, you must leave them with Security.
  • Have ANY electronics, including earbuds, in the testing site. Failure to leave them at the check-in site will be considered an attempt to cheat & will result in appropriate consequences.
  • Leave the test until I say so, which means you are staying the entire 3 hours (longer if you have extended time & are being tested elsewhere.)

Period 4 will report to Room 1823
Period 8 will report to Room 1825
Resource & ESL will report elsewhere, TBD at the time of this post.


Perfect Attendance & Review

If you have signed up for Friday's review but have been invited to the Perfect Attendance Luncheon, please let me know by Friday so I can mark you as coming late (so I know you didn't bail.)  It is perfectly fine for you to come to review late in order to celebrate this achievement. 

Sign Up for very last review on 6/4 is...

The ONLY day you will be able to sign up for the last review on Monday, 6/4 (day before your Regents Exam) will be Friday, 6/1.  You can do it before school, before or after your class period, or at review on 6/1 if you are attending.  Space is limited, so you might want to come before 1st period to sign up.

It is from 2-5:30, you are required to stay for the entire review.  If you can't, don;t sign up.  You will cause someone else to lose a partner & another group to tripe up & lose out of review time if you leave early.  This is unacceptable.

Your averages...

Can your current average handle a zero?

If not, make sure you do the online exams!

Updated CH 35 Vocab Quiz date

CH 35 Vocab will be TOMORROW, 5/31.  Words or flash cards are due then.

Friday, May 25, 2018

Those of you who attended review today...

Those of you there until the end today...remember what I said about regaining the points from today...

HWQs 5/29: Ch 36 All Sections

All Ch 36 HWQs will be done at the start of class on Tuesday, 5/29.  Please be sure you read the final extra credit post before deciding you don't have to do the work.  Remember, just because you have the notes doesn't mean you can write "whatever" as you answer...you must answer the question fully & correctly.

EXAM CLOSES 6/4: Practice Exam #3

Your Practice Regents #3 in Castle Learning will close on Monday, 6/4 at 9 pm. 

First try only counts.  Test is timed at 45 minutes.  Once you open the exam, time begins & there is no "pause" button, which means you can sign out & go back to it later.  No make-ups since it is online.  If you don't finish in the allotted time, anything unanswered is wrong, just like if you left it blank in class.

Your exam score will be based on the following chart, NOT what CL tells you.  It goes by the number correct out of 30.  It counts the same as any other exam.

30 = 100
29 = 95
28 = 90
27 = 80
25-26 = 70
20-24 = 60
0-19 = 1 point per correct answer

Still Failing the Course? Read Me.

One FINAL chance for a decent grade for the 4th MP and, just maybe, a passing grade for the course.  This applies only for work due Saturday, 5/26 through & including Friday, 6/1.  It is for  classes that meet from 5/29-6/1.

What you must do to qualify:
1. Be on time daily
2. No illegal absences
3. Prepared with all required supplies (index cards, dividers, highlighter, pen)
4. No failing HWQ, Video packet, quiz, or exam grades for that time period
(blank questions on video packets lad to failing grades, just an fyi)
5. Must study & complete at least 3 different Regents Review sets on Quizlet between 5/25 & 6/1
(Remember, Quizlet tells me how active you were, how quickly you finished a set, the mode you chose to use, etc.  Anything shady will be disqualified, so study in any mode you choose but do it the right way!)

What you get if you do all of the above:
QUADRUPLE REVIEW POINTS on your 4th MP average for MY REVIEW ONLY on 6/1, from 2-5:30 pm (must stay for the entire review.)
(If you are not allowed to attend my review due to past behavioral or cutting/chronic late issues, I will consider allowing this perk for dept review.)  
This means that, if you follow 1-5 above for 5/26-6/1 & attend the 6/1 review, you will earn 14  points on your average just for that one review date.  

But wait, there's more...
IF you stay eligible for the quadruple points for 6/1 AND you attend that review...I will allow you to earn them again on 6/4 IF you meet the same conditions for the time period 6/2-6/7.  You must do 3 more/different Quizlet reviews.

AND...
If you do that, and remain eligible based on 1-5 above for work due 6/2-6/5 (which is AFTER the review date), I will extend the quadruple points for the 6/4 review, tooYou must do 3 more/different Quizlet reviews before 7 am on 6/5.  

Do the math - that's a total of 28 points IF you pull this off (& it isn't hard to do.)  Just about anyone should be able to pass the 4th MP is they do this.  PLUS one point per hour of dept review you attend, if you attend any during the week & provide my signed slip as proof

HOWEVER...
Once you lose your eligibility the 1st week, you are back to 1 point per hour at review.  There is no 2nd chance since this is your very last chance.  Most of you didn't bother to take advantage of the triple points hat ended today.  Foolish, if you look at your averages.  The only way to continue with the quadruple points is to remain eligible.  Keep in mind I only have enough review cards for 28 people, there are 60 of you, and people at the Friday review get 1st shot at next weeks sign up.

Just to be sure you have read this all the way through, post a comment below with your first & last name & class period.  If you do this by 7 pm on Saturday, 5/26, I will give you an additional 5 points (total) if you remain eligible for the 1st week. 

EXAM CLOSES 6/1: Practice Exam #2

Your Practice Regents #2 in Castle Learning will close on Sunday, 6/3 at 8 am. 

First try only counts.  Test is timed at 45 minutes.  Once you open the exam, time begins & there is no "pause" button, which means you can sign out & go back to it later.  No make-ups since it is online.  If you don't finish in the allotted time, anything unanswered is wrong, just like if you left it blank in class.

30 = 100
29 = 95
28 = 90
27 = 80
25-26 = 70
20-24 = 60
0-19 = 1 point per correct answer

EXAM CLOSES 5/29: Practice Exam #1

Your Practice Regents #1 in Castle Learning will close on Thursday, 5/29 at 5 pm.

No Excuses. You Are Out of Time.

Regents Review study/flash cards in Quizlet have been opened for over a week.  ONE out of 60 of you did one set.  Some of you never bothered to sign up for the Quizlet class at all this year.  Yet "you" feel entitled to a particular style of review.

I posted your supply notice on April 20th, gave you a May 14th deadline, then gave you an extra week until May 21st, and did not check them until May 23rd.  And yet, "we" are largely still unprepared...but feel entitled to a particular type of review.  Not one of you came to me expressing any kind of difficulty in getting the supplies prior to to the due date.

There is no reason to do flash cards in class when you have thematic sets online.  You aren't using those, so why would I think you would actually study the ones I do in class?

There is a different style of thematic review cards used at Friday Review but you aren't attending that  (which is 3 solid hours of study time), so why would I think you would study flash cards from class on your own?

Let's be clear on this: this is YOUR test to pass.  Only YOU can take the test.  Only YOU can decide to study or not, prepare yourself or not, fail or try to pass.  This is YOUR EFFORT, and yours ALONE.  I cannot - and will not - do it for you.

You have THREE reviews left before your Regents Exam.  SIX classes.  And you're STILL NOT STUDYING.  The only thing I can do at this point is wish you luck.  If you haven't listened to or heard me the last 164 days I don't have high hopes of you doing it with 6 classes to go.

I was going to cancel all remaining reviews, but since there are a few of you who always attend, I will keep them as scheduled.

"Last Chance" is Upon You

Before you decide you don't have to do your work for the week, consider the following:

1. Have you checked Thinkwave for your current average?
2. Have you done your work, passed your assessments, & attended review to be eligible for extra credit points?
3. Are you aware that there are only a couple of reviews left (total) to earn extra credit points and, just maybe, be able to pull put a passing 4th M grade that could save your year?
4. Have you met with Guidance to determine what it will mean to not graduate on time, since if you fail this course you will need to repeat it, and that means being a year behind in NYS Graduation Requirements.
5. Do you remember that next year you must take & pass the newer version of the Common Core Regents Exam if you fail the course OR Exam this year?  That's right, next year it's an entirely different test, and from what we've seen it is a miserable exam (for those taking it.)

10 classes left as of this posting.  MAKE. THEM. COUNT.

10 Classes Remain Until Your Regents: Review Sign Up Info

Sign up for my Friday Review starts Monday & ends Wednesday.  There will be a sign up sheet n your classroom.  If you sign up, it is expected that you have made the commitment to show up.  The review is from 2-5:30 pm (late bus passes provided.)  If you cannot stay for the entire review, don't sign up.  Remember, if you blew off last week's review after signing up you cannot attend this week.  Extra Credit eligibility starts again each Monday, so make yourself eligible all week & attend as many reviews as you can to take advantage of the ONE TIME TRIPLE POINT DEAL for this week.  It will NOT be repeated, and no exceptions will be made regarding eligibility.  Do all your work, all your online exams, pass your quizzes/exams, be in class, be prepared, act appropriately, and be in time.  If you are attending a Department Review, be sure to get a slip from me BEFORE your class for that teacher to sign so you get your points IF you remain eligible by the end of the week.

Pizza is $1.25 per slice.  Please have exact change as I don't usually have single or quarters.  You can order as many slices as you like.  The pie is $10 with tip, which works out to $1.25 per slice, I pay the tax.  This is not a fundraiser, it is the exact cost of the slice.  I will place the order based on how many paid slices have been ordered about 30 min into review.  Money is collected at review not before.

BYO drinks or refillable water bottles.  These will not be provided.

You may bring other food with you if you don't care for pizza.  As they take too long & review time is short, no other menu  items will be ordered, sorry.  You cannot have food delivered by Uber or another take-out place, sorry.

EXAM CLOSES 5/25: Ch 35 AND Packet due (separate post)

Review Supplies Reminder & Info

You will start review flash cards in class this week.  Your supplies (originally due in class on 5/14) are required as of Monday, 5/21, in class.  Failure to be without your cards, dividers, highlighters, pens (no gel pens, standard blue or black ink) will cause you to be marked unprepared, which in turn affects you ability to earn extra credit points for reviews attended that week.

Flash cards WILL NOT be posted.  If you miss class, or are late to class & miss cards, there is no make-up for them.  These are IN-CLASS ONLY.  Not before school, not after school, no posted online...even if legally absent.  Don't be out, don't be late, or have a plan to get the review you missed.

If you study the cards EVERY NIGHT for at east 30 minutes (longer if you have failed any marking period), you *should* be OK on the Regents Exam.

Friday, May 18, 2018

TRIPLE POINTS: One Week Only. Read this for details.

ONE WEEK ONLY.

If you are in class every day, prepared with all materials (including Regents Review supplies), on time, all your work completed, and passing grades on all assessments, you will earn TRIPLE POINTS for after school Regents Review this week ONLY.

However, you lose this opportunity if you do not meet the criteria.

Choose wisely...

---------------------
REMINDER: if you blew off review today after signing up for it, you cannot my Friday review on 5/25.  You CAN and SHOULD attend all Department Reviews offered this week.

Thursday, May 17, 2018

REVIEW for FRIDAY, 5/18

Yes, there is still review tomorrow. 

If you did not sign up Mon or Tues & waited until the last minute...lesson learned, I hope.  If you are eligible to attend review, point or not, did not sign up, but now want to attend, you can email me BEFORE 5 PM TONIGHT to get on the list.  After that, the list is closed.

Reminders:




  • BYO Drink

Review Reminders: Sign Ups, Pizza Cost, BYO Drink

Sign up for my Friday Reviews start Monday & ends Wednesday of each week.  There will be a sign up sheet n your classroom.  If you sign up, it is expected that you have made the commitment to show up.  The review is from 2-5:30 pm (late bus passes provided.)  If you cannot stay for the entire review, don't sign up.

SPACE IS LIMITED.  I have room for 34, there are 90 of you...  You can sign up before school, before your class begins, or after our class ends.

Pizza is $1.25 per slice.  Please have exact change as I don't usually have single or quarters.  You can order as many slices as you like.  The pie is $10 with tip, which works out to $1.25 per slice.  This is not a fundraiser, it is the exact cost of the slice.  I will place the order based on how many paid slices have been ordered about 30 min into reivew.  Money is collected at review not before.

BYO drinks or refillable water bottles.  These will not be provided.

You may bring other food with you if you don't care for pizza.  As they take too long & review time is short, no other menu  items will be ordered, sorry.

Extra Credit System Starting Monday. You Should Read This.

After School Regents Review will be handled in this manner moving forward.  A few slight changes have been made for clarification purposes.  Please read carefully to see which of the categories you fall into - the week starts with work due on Monday & ends with work due on Friday.  Everyone is "reset" come the following Monday.  If you don't do what you are supposed to for next week, you can still qualify for something different the week after, depending on what YOU do. 

These policies are for my review & the "official" Department Reviews held multiple times each week after school.  Those dates, times, & locations were previously posted on the blog as well as in your classroom.  As a reminder, those students with discipline issues, behavioral issues, or significant cutting/late to class all year cannot attend my review but are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to attend as many of the Department reviews held each week as possible.

Extra credit points given per hour of review attended will be added directly to your 4th MP average, up to a grade of 100. If you exceed that grade based on your average & points, I will consider an adjustment to your course grade...which might lead to a passing course grade if you can earn at least an 85 on the Regents Exam.  This is EXTRA, so I am not required to do it.  The policies below will be used as of work due Monday, 5/14. 

Option A:
All of your work was done, fully complete, according to the directions given, & was submitted on time.  You earned a passing grade on all quizzes & exams given that week (including HWQs.)  You were not late to class or illegally absent.

If this describes you (for any week moving forward), and you are signed up for review, you will earn double points on your 4th MP average.  That means for every hour of review you attend* you will earn 2 points on your 4th MP average.

Example: my review is 3.5 hours.  If you attend, are on time for review, & you qualify for Option A you will earn 7 points for that one review.  I have 5 reviews.  Do the math...look at Thinkwave...think about what you needed for the 4th MP to pass the course...

Option B:
All of your work was done, fully complete, according to the directions, you passed all your HWQs, but you failed one or more quiz or exam this week.  You were not late to class or illegally absent.

If this describes you (for any week moving forward), and you are signed up for review, you will earn single points on your 4th MP average.  That means for every hour of review you attend* you will earn 1 point on your 4th MP average.

Option C:
All of your work was not done or was incomplete.  You were late to class &/or illegally missed class.  You are not eligible for extra credit points this week.

This also applies to anyone who signed up for my last review but failed to show up, left a review before it ended, or cancelled after the deadline, causing another student to miss out on that spot.


*Verification slips are required as proof of attendance for Department Reviews (not necessary for mine.)  These must be filled out by the teacher holding the review at the end f the review session.  You must get it form me the day or the review (or Friday if a Saturday review) and turn in at the start of your class the next day.  Failure to do either of these will result in no extra points being granted/earned.

EXAM CLOSES 5/18, Ch 34 Online Exam

Your Chapter 33 Castle Learning Online Exam will open on Thursday, 5/10 & closes at 8 pm on Friday, 5/18.  This gives you 9 to complete, with 7 days on school computers.

First try only counts.  Test is not timed, which means you can sign out & go back to it later.  No make-ups since it is online.  If you don't finish (deadline locks it, etc.), anything unanswered is wrong, just like if you left it blank in class.  Quizlet for this exam is also open, but you are best using your notes & video sheets to help you answer the questions for this exam.

You Chapter 34 Video Packet(s) are due at the start of class on 5/18 as well.  "Packet" is defined as all video worksheets handed out for Chapter 34, stapled together or not..  See the post with the video links for a list.
