Quiz 2 Postponement

Because this week is scheduled differently, it's not really fair to have a quiz on Friday as scheduled. (The class schedule is posted on the storage room door by the way.) So, we will be using Thursday and Friday either as your constitutional debate (ahem, 2nd period) day and/or review for the quiz.

You will still be receiving a study packet on Thursday to help you prepare for the quiz. Keep in mind that not everything in the study packet will appear on the quiz. I must, however, inform you that you will need to know a few dates for this quiz, particularly those dates relating to the documents we have talked about. The US documents we have talked about are posted here if you would like to review them again.

Documents: US Constitution

Here's a link the United States Constitution. This link comes with a feature that will highlight each clause and give you more information when you click on it, as well as tell you  what that clause is about when you hover over it.

New Quiz Grades & EXTRA CREDIT

Happy long weekend!

Hopefully, it will make your weekend to know that after having graded the quizzes for the first two classes, it looks like most have you have done much better! I knew you could do it! That being said, our deal still holds that if the majority of the class got much better scores on this quiz than the first, the first score will go away. **Update** 4th hour, your scores were averaged. This still helped most of your scores. If you would like to see your two scores, let me know Tuesday.

Also, your grades will be published this weekend so you can see your scores on all your assignments. Here are the assignments that will be listed:

• Workbook, Lesson 1 (10 points) (classes 2, 4, 6 only)
• 0 if you turned in nothing
• 5 if you did a little to half
• 10 if you did 75% to all of the work
• Locke & Hobbes reading (1 point)
• Quiz (60 points)
• Notes from 08/29 (10 points) (classes 4 and 6 only)
• Bell-Ringer from 08/29 (8 points)
• 2 points per question answered
• Study Packet (30 points)
• 5 points per complete page

Remember, you can turn in assignments late. Make sure to look at your syallbus for the details!

Now for the part you've all been waiting for, EXTRA CREDIT.
Your extra credit opportunity is to correct or expand your incorrect quiz answers. For each response that you submit that is correct, you will receive an added TWO points onto your overall quiz grade. (You will essentially be receiving half credit for correctly resubmitted answer.) These will be due by FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 at the end of the school day. You will get your quizzes back on Tuesday.

Closing thoughts: Awesome, awesome job on the quiz today!!!!!! If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Have a great weekend!
Ms. Crowe.

Tatiana	Dana	Amber	Brent	Kenny
Christa		Randall	Herbert
		Jagger	Justin
		Gabriel	Dustin

Please schedule a time ASAP to take this quiz. You will have until Wednesday to do this.

Friday, everyone will be re-taking the quiz. The two quiz scores will be averaged together. If you only take Friday's quiz, one of your scores that goes into the average will be a zero, meaning your average will be your Friday quiz score divided by two.
