This review has been very successful over the last 17 years with students who attend them in conjunction with being in class daily, are prepared, do their review HW, and study their flash cards nightly.  No one who has done all of these things has failed the Exam to date.  Since your in-class review time is extremely limited at best, I encourage everyone eligible to sign up for ALL of them!

Here are the details:

1.     Sign up sheets will be put up on Monday and taken down at the end of school on Wednesday.  Anyone with behavioral or discipline issues this year in my class is not permitted to attend.

2.     If you sign up, you are expected to show up.

3.     If you are not coming to school, not coming to class, not doing all work as assigned, &/or are unprepared for class you are not eligible for these reviews.  You can & are greatly encouraged to attend the department sponsored reviews.

4.     All rides must be on time.  Anyone walking home must submit a permission slip to me.  Failure to do so will result in you not being allowed to attend future after-school reviews with me.

5.     If you would like to participate in the pizza ordering, please being exact change of $1.25 er slice to review with you.  It is unlikely I will have change so bringing the exact amount is important in order to place your order.  You may order as many slices as you like.

6.     You may bring a drink & your own sandwich (if you don’t want pizza.)

7.     Review is limited to 30 students per course.

Review is done in pairs by your course (Global in pairs, US in pairs.)  It is not a lecture, it is not notes.  It is you, using my personal flash cards (different from those you do in class), to study & internalize information with a partner.  It is timed & organized in a way to give you the maximum exposure to Regents topics during any review period.  You can work on your weakest areas.

"Amnesty" & Last Chance Reminder

Just a reminder...if you have not done your job as a student this year & are now in significant danger of failing the course, you shoudl be following the "amnesty" program I posted last week.  If you don't, you have used all of your chances.  There are barely 25 classes left before Final Exams.

EXAM CLOSES Today & Packet Due: Fri., 5/11

Your Chapter 33 Castle Learning Online Exam will open on Monday, 4/30 & closes at 8 pm on Friday, 5/11.  This gives you 12 to complete, with 10 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 33 Video Packet(s) are due at the start of class on 5/11 as well.  "Packet" is defined as all video worksheets handed out for Chapter 33, stapled together or not..  See the post with the video links for a list.
