RESCHEDULED FOR 1/17 Ch 26 Content Exam

RESCHEDULED FOR 1/17.

m/u date is 1/27, same time & location as stated below.

Your Chapter 26 old-style content question quiz/test will be on Friday, 1/10.  The Quizlet Review has been open since 12/19.  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!  Remember, all previous chapters are fair game to show up on your exam so be sure to review those topics in Quizlet, too!

Make up for legal absences is before school (per my make-up policy), last day to make up is Tuesday, 1/14.  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.

There is no Stimulus Exam for this chapter, so your Ch 26 Video Sheet (not packet) is due this day as well.

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

Period 8 Update

Several of you have emailed me with the same name & confirmed my suspicions - thank you.

With the exception of that person, your extra credit is reinstated for the exams.  Everyone will continue to turn in phones on quiz/test days.  Some of you will now be required to turn them in daily.

Absent Monday? Read This.

If you were legally absent Monday you missed a 5 minute quiz on Capitalism & Communism.  You may make this up Wednesday or Thursday, 6:50-7:10 am in 1823.  I have to leave the room at 7:15.  Failure to make this quiz up will result in a grade of 0.

Period 8

Updates:

1.  The extra credit you lost today is NOT the "Festive Extra Credit."  It is the extra credit on the EXAMS.  Please continue to participate on Festive Spirit Week!

2.  If you would like to tel me to whom the offending phone from today belongs, you may email me to do so.  You will remain 100% anonymous to everyone but me (unless I can't tell who you are from your email, then you are absolutely 100% anonymous.)  If I have the name, or the person comes forward via email, I will restore the exam extra credit for the rest of you.

3.  Unless this is resolved by the time I get to school tomorrow, I will be collecting all phones for your class daily.

Don't forget to study.

Time's up!

The last chance, final deadline has now passed.

I hope you emailed to participate in the 

"last chance" extra credit.

One last chance...

Didn't bother to read the extra credit post?

  

I hope you learned your lesson.

In the spirit of the holidays, 

I will offer you one. last. chance.

If you email me by noon on Sunday, 

I will allow you to participate for 5 points on your average.  

See the original posts for details & directions.

(Be sure to follow the directions or you will not be approved.)

Festive Week Questions, Answers, & Clarifications

To answer some questions I was asked during the week:

1.  Yes, an animal dressed for Christmas, etc. on your shirt counts (depending on the theme of the day of course.)

2.  No, a Santa hat or Reindeer headband by themselves do not count.  Pair it with a red shirt (or white, or black, or a combo like Santa's suit has) with the hat.  If a Reindeer, do the same in brown, etc.  Elves usually wear green or yellow but any bright primary color should do, especially if it matches your headband/hat.  

3.  Yes, of course Christmas/Holiday/Winter Onesie's count as comfy!!!

4.  No, your formal wear does not have to be red or green. Yes, it can be a very nice outfit you would wear to Church, etc., fancy dinner, or a party where you need to be "dressed."

5.  "I can't get dressed Thursday because of the concert."  Actually, you will be neatly dressed for the concert already, and that counts.  However, if you are scheduled to perform during your class period with me, you must come to be before 7:20 am to show me you are here & dressed.  Failure to do this means you are "absent."  See below.  (I am in ISS 1st period, if your bus gets you to school at 7:20, you can find me there before 7:35 but must have permission from your teacher if you are missing class to find me.  I will not issue a pass because you are late to class.)

6.  "What if I'm absent one day?"  Then you lose the points.  Same if you are late to class any day next week.  The rules were clear - all in or all out.

7.  "I don't have an ugly Holiday t-shirt or sweater."  Make one.  Get an old t-shirt & staple garland to it.  Add Christmas ornaments, balls, etc. from the Dollar Store if you want.  Be creative.  it's supposed to be ugly & hideous & make us laugh.

8.  No, you don't have to celebrate Christmas to participate.  It's in the spirit of holiday fun.  Any holiday at this time of year will do - Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Winter Solstice...whatever.

Other questions?  Email me.  If I have time to read emails this weekend I'll either respond to you directly or add your question here.
