11/12/13 - Zeroes for missing work

Starting November 12, all missing assignments not turned in on the date due will be entered as a zero if the student is present.
I usually start this about two months into the school year, to make sure students see the effects of missing assignments. By two months, the routine of school is fairly regular, and students are well aware of the different strategies that teachers use in class to succeed. One of those litmus tests on success is turning in assignments on time. Since we are have a real time grade book program, it is time to start posting grades in real time.

Missing form homework about your assigned article due in Block this week

Since student answers will be shared in class Friday about the primary source articles, IF students do not complete the form mentioned in the link below before Friday in class, regardless of attendance, the HW form will receive a grade of zero, and cannot be made up (because answers will be shared tomorrow).

Also, students that did not bring the printed article to class, listed as the first direction in the link below, received a zero for not printing the HW. This meant that about 10 of 62 students were not prepared to participate in an in class activity with their article that was marked as required.

Primary Source Reading Homework  - posted Tuesday, 11/5. Worth 5 points total - 1 for the article.

Reading during Block Day 11/6 and 11/7

The Starving Time of Jamestown by John Smith
