Make-Ups from Today's HWQs

Make-ups for today's HWQs (all of Ch 26 & 27/1) will be Tuesday & Thursday (not Wednesday due to weather forecasts.)  Same times & location.

Festive Extra Credit - Read the ENTIRE Post to Participate

What do you say we have a Festive Challenge next week (12/16)?  Winners will (1) likely get themselves in some candid Yearbook pictures (since we are, literally, across the hall from the adviser!) & (2) earn some extra credit. Read through to the end to see how to start getting the points!

The Rules (it's me, you know there are going to be rules!!)
1.  You have to participate every day - Monday - Friday.  There is no partial credit.  You're all in or you're out!!  

ONLY EXCEPTION: ROTC Uniforms on their required day.  I will verify mandatory uniform day(s) for next week with ROTC.  If you are dressed for ROTC on that day, I will count it as as "festive" day for you since you have no choice.

2.  You need to be in class on time, no late passes.  You must be present all 5 days, too.

3.  You must wear it ALL DAY.  No cheating.  I'll find out. ;) 

4.  You need to be dressed in the theme of the day.  According to the email we received last week, the themes are:

Monday - "Comfy Cozy Christmas."  

To me, this means appropriate Christmas PJs, Christmas t-shirt, Christmas pants or leggings, etc.  Again, I will count Winter or any December Holiday theme.

Tuesday - Santa, Elf, or Reindeer Attire

Be creative.  And yes, I'll accept a t-shirt with Santa, Elves, etc. on it...let me re,d you of that rule about it being appropriate (some shirts have some very funny sayings but are 100% NOT appropriate for school...those won't count.)

Wednesday - Holiday Colors.  
Red, green, silver, gold, blue, white, & any combo of them.  Be festive & fun.  Wear mismatched clothes int he colors.  Be creative. As long as you are Christmas-y, winter-y - you're good.  Get the idea?

Thursday - Formal Wear
Get decked out in your favorite fancy Holiday or Winter Wear.  While they say "formal" (which means dressy), I will count any nice, neat outfit that fits the holidays.  Dress, skirt, blouse, button down shirt, slacks, holiday tie, etc.

Friday - Ugly Apparel 
Ugly sweater, shirt, pants, dress, etc. Don't have one?  Be creative!  Attach ornaments to a t-shirt, tape on some garland, etc.  It's supposed to be hideous.  That's the fun of it.  :)

What do you win?  Everyone who participates every day & is in class, on time, will get 10 points added to their 2nd MP average.  That's right, 10 points. 

And just to get us all in the spirit of things, I will participate with you.  I have no idea what I'll do for for a few of the days but like you, I have a week to figure it out!

So...who's in for 10 points?  Email me (dramo@bufsd.org) with your 1st & last name & class period for you to be added to the list to check off each day next week (12/16.)  Deadline to email your participation is Thursday, 12/12, 5 pm sharp.

Packet Reminder

Whether or not we do all of it together in class, your entire packet for each chapter must be complete when turned in on the due date.  This has been posted before & said many times in class so should be a surprise to no one.  This includes document as well as video questions.

Next 3 Weeks

You will need at least Chapters 25 & 26 to use in class before the break, possibly part of Ch 27.  

If you did not copy them when due, get them copied now.

Or get zeros in class when you're called on when you are unprepared.

And then risk failing the marking period.

And maybe the entire course.

Quizlet & Other Info

Hope you all had a relaxing 5 days off & are ready to hit the ground running tomorrow.  A snow day would have been nice, but since that's not happening, but sure to use your extra time with no homework to get caught up on what you need for class as well as the upcoming homework starting this week.  See you tomorrow!

1.  Some of you continue to tell me you are not approved in Quizlet but followed the directions regarding my username requirements.  As of this posting, there are NO PENDING STUDENTS WITH THE PROPER USERNAME.  There are, however, several pending without the proper username & will not be approved until they are changed.  If you applied to join the class but still can;t see my study sets, then you're one of these people.  FIX YOUR USERNAME!!

2.  Only 3 More Fridays until Christmas break!!  MAKE THEM COUNT!!!
Breakdown: 11 classes, 1 sub day (I'm at a Conference), 1 Quiz day, 2 Exam days.

3.  Only 2 more Fridays until Progress Reports.

4.  Your work for December & through the first day back in January was posted before Thanksgiving.  Make the decision to do it all, on time, and to study!

5.  After we get back from Christmas Break, there are only 2 weeks left for grades in the 2nd MP.  That's it.  There is no time to recover from not doing your work or not studying...get it all done when it's due!

DUE 1/6: Ch 28 Secs 1, 2, 3, & 4

This was originally posted on 11/25 to give you 42 days notice hat you have work due the day we come back from break.  You had NO HW over Thanksgiving (or the entire week on 11/25), so no excuses will be considered for not having this work done.

A Reminder About Postings & Due Dates

As a reminder, your work due in December was posted in November, so it will still be listed in November 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.
