TEST 11/1: Ch 23 Exam & Video packet

Your Chapter 23 Exam will be on Friday, 11/1.  The Quizlet Review has been open since 10/11.  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, all previous chapters are fair game to show up on your exam so be sure to review those topics in Quizlet, too!


Your Chapter 23 Video packets are due at the start of class on this day as well.

Make up for legal absences is before school (per my make-up policy), last day to make up is Wednesday, 11/6 .  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.  Make-up period ends at 7:15 AM.  To have the same amount of time for the test as was offered in lass, you must arrive to 1823 by 6:45 AM.  You can arrive after that time, but your time ends at 7:15 AM.

If you can't come before school to make up the exam don't be absent for it!

QUIZ 10/28: Ch 23 Vocabulary Quiz

Vocabulary Quiz on these on Monday, 10/28.  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 23 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 your top card must be a heading card (see above.)  You will get extra credit for making flash cards.

Make up for legal absences is before school (per my make-up policy), last day to make up is Wednesday, 10/30.

Copy & paste the link below for the Vocab list.  Yes, it is Chapter 23:

Remember - all previous vocab words are fair game & will also show up n this quiz!

10/18 Updates...

Let's try this again...

Next week I hope to be well enough to be off most of the meds & get back to our regular routine.  Thanks for doing your work while I've been home.  Believe me, as the teacher, it is way harder & more work to stay home than it is to come to school.  I was there today but went home sick after 5th period.

So, here are some updates:

1.  Review your Chapter 23 notes from the beginning to where you ended last week.  You will be having quick, mini quizzes on them next week.  No notes allowed.

3.  We learned something at a Guidance assembly today: apparently you can "rent" (I assume for free) a personal hotspot to use at home for up to 2 weeks from the Brentwood Public Library with your Public Library card.  If you have issues with internet service at home, you may want to look into this service.

4.  Sub work from yesterday has been graded but not yet entered into Thinkwave.

5.  Report card grades will be entered in less than 3 weeks.  Keep on top of your work, what's due, check the blog daily, etc.

6.  A lot of you have been cutting while I've been out.  Please note that you get a 0 when you cut.  Sub work that is left for you are all content &/or skills based regents materials.  It is far from busy work.  So, in addition to these 0s, you have lost the chance to practice some much-needed sills.

Have a great weekend & see you Monday, ready to move ahead!

Sub Work Graded

The sub work from Tuesday has been graded & entered in Thinkwave.

If you were legally absent, please follow the directions/notes posted with the assignment by the deadline.

Chapter 22 Packet Questions from Today

While I did find the Chapter 22 Video Packet after school today, I cannot find  post for you (from this year) with a link to those videos, so I am not counting it

Ricardo Amaya...

Your binder is in our classroom.  You can pick it up before 7:25 in you need if for other classes (it is on the heater by the windows) or when you come to class Thursday if it is only for Global.

RAK Wall Reminders

Just a reminder that the "RAK Wall" is open for business any day I'm in school.  See the original post for details.  You can take an index card before the stat of class & return it either at the end of class OR the next day.  Remember your kind deed does not have to take place in school, but it would be nice if it did!

PSAT/SAT Day is October 16th!

Remember, Wednesday 10/16 is a regular school day...and you will take the PSAT if in 11th grade or the SAT if in 12th grade 

(goes by credits earned.)

  
My understanding is the PSAT you $17 while the SAT costs $50-65.  The District is paying these fees for EVERYONE.  This is NOT a "blow off school day."  This is an opportunity to take these exams for FREE.

You are required to bring pencils & a calculator to the exam.  Very few pencils will be available and no calculators will be provided for the PSAT (they WILL give you a calculator to use if you are a 12th grader taking the SAT.)  If you do not bring a calculator to the PSAT, you will not have one for the math portion of the exam.

This is a GREAT opportunity to see where your weakness is - if you have any - & start to work toward a higher score for the SAT.

You will be released after the exam is over and "regular buses" will take you home.  Be on the lookout for a letter sent home by Mr. Callan & those annoying "robo calls" to remind you of what to do.  Pay attention to you 1st & 2nd period teachers Thursday as they will have your room assignments for the exam. 

Test is till tomorrow

Your Chapter 22 Exam is still tomorrow, as scheduled.

I have gone through each of your Quizlet accounts and see that very few of you have prepared for the exam as of this post.

Keep in mind hat your actions will determine what we do in class, not the rewards you wrote Thursday.

See you tomorrow.

Period 7

I was able to read your responses to my question before I left school Thursday.  I am pleased to say that you are unanimous in wanted to change our ways to be more successful.  Now, however, it's time to prove that to me.

We are still in Ch 23 Sec 2.  Should you come to class unprepared with any Ch 23 notes (or any other notes moving forward), you will have thrown your last chance away.  No one should be in our class any more without their notes, highlighters, handouts, pens, & HW.  Everyone should show several rounds of completed study in Quizlet.

This is the only way for you to prove to me that you're serious, and it starts Monday. 

There are no more lates.  No more missing work.  No more "I can't find it, didn't do it, don't have it" responses.

No. More.

If there is just one more instance of any of those for you, you have chosen "the other way," which is clearly not working for you.

I am cheering for you to succeed. 

See you Monday.

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.

DUE: Mon, 10/7 Ch 24 Sec 4

YOU ARE ONLY USING THE LINK FOR THE NOTES!!

THE DATES YOU MUST FOLLOW ARE ON

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.
