-Our midterm test will take place next Thursday. Please STUDY HARD for the test, as it could have a significant impact on your grade. Consider making flash cards to help you study and to earn a small amount (one raw point, several percentage points) of extra credit on the test. ***Click here to download the study guide for the test.***
-The map skills and latitude/longitude worksheet we worked on in class today is due Monday (5th hour) or Tuesday (6th hour) if you have not turned it in.
-Reading notes on the packet "Roots of Judaism" (handed out today) are due Wednesday, 9/29.
-Progress reports were handed out today. Parent signatures on progress reports are due the day you return to class next week. If parents have questions about the grades their students have earned so far, please feel free to email me.
It has come to my attention that the grading scale I set up on NCWise is a bit different from that of the other teachers. At present, the scale is set up as follows:
99-100% and up = A+; 93-98 = A; 90-92 = A-
88-89 = B+; 83-87 = B; 80-82 = B-
78-79 = C+; 73-77 = C; 70-72 = C-
68-69 = D+; 63-67 = D; 60-62 = D-; below 60 = F.
In the Enriched World History course, tests and quizzes account for 40% of the grade, assignments and projects account for 40%, and participation grades account for 20%. If you have a low grade, one reason may be that we have only taken one quiz so far.
Have a great weekend!
