Some students are not using the class blog - take the survey
Blog Survey is no longer XC (+2), but now is a required assignment worth one point. Complete it by your block period for your class.
After you read this entry, take this survey to help Mr. Rodgers make this blog a better tool for success. To do this, send Mr. Rodgers an email from your school lcm account, and he will send the survey back to you. Parents can also take the survey if they use a different email account. As part of the survey, your email account will be recorded so that I may follow up if a comment needs clarification.
Just like Powerschool offers a direct way to find out every grade on graded work in a class, the blogs that I post about each class are very important to verify directions and get materials that students have either lost or cannot find.
Why must students use this blog:
To get an answer to the directions, or be able to reread the directions for an assignment.
To use those directions and materials to complete work on time.
To get links to websites or handouts that must be used in order to complete assignments or study for quizzes and tests.
The blog offers many other advantages as well. Without the blog, students will not be able to complete homework from time to time, or get a copy of a reading, or a replacement blank chart or map that is due the next day. Students must use the blog to succeed in class.
If a students is not following the blog, or reading it daily, they are not taking advantage of this line of communication to do well in class.

US Physical Map Quiz during block - Wed:p6 and Th:p5
During block each period will take the US physical features quiz worth 20 points.
Like the US States test, students will receive two parts of the test:
1. a marked map will label physical features
2. an answer sheet with corresponding blanks to write the appropriate answer for each labeled features of the map
3. The Handout with directions has a list of all the required physical features that students must know for the quiz.
4. Here is a a physical map with most features here on the list.
5. In addition, six rivers drawn in the assignment map, are not listed in the handout list above. Students may find these six rivers, and will be given two XC points if they can identify two of these rivers that will be labeled as part of the test.
Map copy
6. As is always the case for XC options, the XC points count against the final test grade, allowing students who score about the regular test maximum of 20 points of 100% to actually earn 22 points if all answers are correct.
Good luck!
