Head's Up: Due 1/6
Just an early heads up - Chapter 28 is due the day you get back from Christmas Break. It won;t post until 12/1, but here are the links in advance in case you want to work on it over the Thanksgiving break to get it out of the way:
Test 12/20: Ch 25 Stimulus Exam
Your Chapter 25 Stimulus-Based Question Exam will be on Friday, 12/20. This exam will be stimulus-based, which means it will only have he new style Regents questions that use documents but rely on content knowledge. The Quizlet Review has been open since 11/26. 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 will help you with the content you need to answer stimulus-based questions. 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 7 Video packet is 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 Tuesday, 1/7. 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.

RAK Wall - Final Days?
Unless you start taking advantage or utilizing it, I am rescinding the RAK Wall (see post from 9/23/19 for details.) I have to say, I'm a little disappointed.
I will end the program as of Tuesday afternoon if there is no activity by then.

"Quiz" or Test?" You Decide!
I have to figure out if I want to count your "old style questions" test as a test or a quiz. I'm torn, so I'm letting you decide. Email me by the start of school on 11/12 with your vote. Here are the arguments for & against:
Use as a QUIZ grade:
PRO: Isn't weighted as heavy as a test; will not be a full period (30 questions max)
CON: If you do better on straight-forward, old-style content questions, it won't count as much as a test grade (so won;t help your average as much as a good test grade.)
Use as a TEST grade:
PRO: If you do well on those mini quizzes in class, this is a test with those kinds of questions. It carries equal weight to a stimulus exam.
CON: It's another assessment; it's a full period (50 questions old-school style exam)
Email me with your vote. Your email must have your 1st & last name with class period in the subject field for your email to be opened & your vote counted!

"When is the make-up?"
I'm getting a little frustrated with the lack of reading many of you do. This is going to be my last post about the subject and the last time I am going to address it here or in class.
My answer to "when is the make up" will always now be "it is on the website." Make up dates & deadlines are ALWAYS posted with the assignment. ALWAYS. Every time, every single time, I have asked someone who has said "when are the make ups," they admit they have not actually read the post past the date of the test, etc. This is your responsibility. I've said it for 2 months. After the crazy number of absences last Friday, I was asked "when is the make up" in person & by email SEVENTEEN TIMES. No more.
You have a field trip? It's your job to know the make up schedule.
Have an assembly? It's your job to know the make up schedule.

Absent for the day? It's your job to know the make up schedule.
As for "but I can't get there before school," my responses are the same as they have been for the last 3 years: "then don't be absent since everything is announced in advance" and "figure something out before the deadline."
You made a choice to miss class on the day you knew you had a quiz, test, etc. That means you also knew you would have to make it up...and since the make up info was posted, you had all the information needed to make the decision that s best for you.
Yes, things happen. Yes, sometimes there are extenuating circumstances. These do not include Guidance appointments, assemblies, field trips, music lessons, or arriving late to class. If I make an exception for one of you, I have to make it for all of you to be fair. That's why there are class policies. They are posted online, they were sent home, they were signed, and they are posted with every assignment I give you.
So...as we start the 2nd marking period, please keep all of these items in mind. Start reading the entire post, and be sure you can make something up if you are gong to miss class.
I'm glad we have hat all cleared up. I hope you enjoyed your day off. See you tomorrow.

Reminder: Check October for work due in November
As a reminder, your work due in November was posted in October, so it will still be listed in October on the right side menu. It will NOT show up under the November 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.
