You are required to be in class, on time, June 5-13th. Cuts will still be entered & affect your 4th MP average.
However, the Regents Exam is the culmination of the course, so I will not be issuing any more Global work after the exam. Unless we are directed otherwise, you are expected to bring your Regents Review materials/homework from your Math or Science classes with you to do during your Global period on those days. You may also bring work for your English portfolio that may be due. You will NOT be allowed to sleep, use your phone, or chat with each other. This will be a silent, academic study hall for you to get work done or study for other upcoming exams.
As the Regents is before finals, there will be no final exam.
If we are directed to do something different, I will update you. Until &/or if that happens,the above beings on Wednesday, June 5th.

June 3rd Regents Exam Info
As of this post, your testing rooms are as follows:
Rachel Martinez, Josael Sanchez, Ronil Cubias Perez, & Javeria Khalid are to report to room 1104 (in Ross.) You have extended time...BE SURE YOU USE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!!! You will need to enter through the Sonderling Building & walk over to Ross once they release students from the cafeteria.
As of right now, everyone else is to report to 1825, which is next door to our classroom.
Everyone needs:
Your exam will begin by 8 am and last for 3 hours. You will not be released before the 3 hours is up, so either you sit in the room & work on your exam for the full 3 hours or you just sit there. Only I can release you early, and I am not doing it. You need every last minute to complete this exam.
You will have to turn in any electronics you bring with you when you enter the building (phones, iWatches, etc.) Earbuds will not be allowed in the classroom, so be sure you leave them home.
There is a regular bus pick up in the morning, just like any other school day.
If you are late to the exam, you lose that time.
We will not be handing out pens or supplies.

5/31 Review & 7 pm End Time
I have 7 of you signed up until 7 pm for Friday. While it is only half of the number required, I will stay with you. If you are only signed up until 5:30 but have now changed your mind, please be sure to let me know tomorrow so I can add you to that list AND read the original post so your ride is on time.
Please be sure your ride is there at 7 pm to get you as I have a commitment Friday night & cannot stay & wait with you. That means you'll be outside, as it gets dark, alone. Possibly in rain/storms. You cannot stay in the building at that time without adult supervision, and I will not be there after 7 pm to supervise. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.
Have pizza money, pens, highlighter, drink/water bottle with you whether you are staying until 5:30 or 7 pm.

Thinkwave & Online Exams
Your Thinkwave averages are now updated & current through work due today, 5/28.
For those of you not doing the online exams, you are:
As a reminder, you get no extra credit for review time when you don;t complete your work, and that includes online exams, video worksheets, review HW (including all directions followed.) SO if you didn't do work that closed on 5/24, 5/25, or 5/26, don't expect any extra credit for review time on 5/23. Same is true this week.
And you are literally out of time. Your 4th MP grades end on 6/3. What you've done, good or bad, is finished.
For those of you not doing the online exams, you are:
- Getting absolutely no review because you aren't even looking at the exam questions, and you need it THE MOST if you've done no HW
- Setting yourself up for a very low 4th MP average
- Setting yourself up for failing the course, which you will be required to repeat before moving on to 11th grade US History
- Failing the Regents Exam since, as mentioned, you have done little, at most, to prepare yourself for Monday's exam which, again, is required for graduation.

Ch 36 Exam Questions & General Issues
I received several emails over the weekend regarding your Chapter 36 Exam. Every question was a multiple choice question, & I have a "fake account" so I can do the exams, just like you. I did the exam and had no issues with any questions, including no issue entering a choice for any question. If you went over the time limit per question, you were "timed out." You had 3 minutes per question...and on Monday you have only ONE MINUTE per question or you will not finish the exam.

ALSO DUE 5/29: Signed Thinkwave Sheets
Thinkwave printouts were handed out in class on Thursday, 5/23. They are due back, signed, at the start of class on Wednesday, 5/29. They are to be in the dark blue bin by the start of class, just like HW. Late sheets will not be accepted for credit.
If you were not in class on 5/23, you must print out the entire 4th MP of your grades & have your parent/guardian sign it. Not one page, not a summary sheet, all of your 4th MP grades. Failure to do this will lead to a total loss of credit. It is due 5/29, same as everyone else. No extension will be given.
There were some entries made after review Thursday, so the sheet you have may not necessarily be your current average. However, all HW submitted through 5/23 was entered into Thinkwave before I left.
If you turned it in but have a 0, check the comments I made on your paper & the post with the requirements for credit. You likely didn't follow the directions or complete the assignment if a 0 is entered for you. Same deal when you don't follow Regents rules on Regents Exam day...

LAST CHANCE: May 31st Review is the LAST Review
This is your very last Regents Review before your exam. You are more than foolish is you fail to sign up for it. Overwhelming & with few exceptions, your review homework has been atrocious. You need all the help you can get, & you are officially out of time. It's a last ditch effort to pass now, or repeat the course/exam.
We will be doing multiple choice & enduring issues essay practice skills. There will be no flash cards in pairs. Bring your pens & a highlighter. Bring your water or water bottle. Bring your money for pizza.
Your very last extra credit opportunity:
- If 25 of you sign up & show up (on time & remain for the entire review), I will give you all an additional 10 extra credit points (if you qualify.) There are currently 7 signed up.
- If 15 of you sign up to stay until 7 pm, I will add another 10 to your points (again, if you qualify, so get your online tests & HW done.) You MUST have a ride home, your ride must be on time, you must put "7 pm" next to your name on the sign up sheet.
There is only one day left to sign up for review, Wednesday, 5/29 (the day we get back from break.)
That's it.
You have just 3 days of classes before your exam.
That's it.
You are 100% out of time and, based on the work I'm seeing in class (or your complete lack of work), you don't "got this."
