PBH Due 12.16.13 (and other dates too)

Hello All,

UPDATED INFORMATION!!!

LEARNBOOST ASSIGNMENT

If you look on learnboost, you will see your grades posted. You are still responsible for answering the LearnBoost Self-Evaluation Questions which will be due on the 13th, however, you will not receive your progress reports until next week, since most of you need to show me your redone classwork/homework in your workbook.

Please note that the grades you see now, will either drop or increase based on what you receive on your other classwork and homework assignments. You will not get another opportunity to redo your yellow workbook from the day that it is due. It is your responsibility to complete it either at home, during extra help 7th period on your class's assigned day or during extended day. If you choose not to redo the work, your grade will remain the same or if it is not done at all, it will be a zero. There are no surprises on my part and there shouldn't be on yours. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

Also, please note that you will see on learnboost that there are workbook assignments with no grades. When you hand in your workbook on Monday the 16th, your grades will be posted between Monday and Tuesday afternoon/evening of that week. Later that week, you will receive your progress report. This must be signed by your parents and brought in on the day I tell you. Once it is signed and returned you will receive an extra 5 points.

PRE-COLLEGE ASSIGNMENT

Follow the Pre-College Research Assignment instructions so that you will know what to do. When we complete Lessons 12 and 13 in class, we will begin the research. Therefore, this means that the thesis statement and any other part of the essay will not be due until we begin our first day of research for the pre-college assigment, which has not begun yet. Please note that judging from the days it takes to complete the lessons, the other business we need to take care of in the classroom and trips, some of the dates I told you to change may change again and may go into January of 2014, the week we return from vacation. I will let you know when we begin the research what changes will be made.

TAKE HOME TEST

As mentioned, there are 14 lessons in Unit 1 and the 14th lesson is an assessment. You will do this assessment at home using the workbook, your notes and Inside Out & Back Again. The test MUST BE COMPLETED DURING VACATION AND RETURNED ON JANUARY 3, 2014. You will receive further information later.
