ENRICHED: Do Now and homework reminder, Wednesday 10-13

Reading notes, midterm test corrections, and the Ancient Greece scavenger hunt were due today.

Way too many of you did not bring your assignments that were due today, even though you had six days to complete the reading notes and a day off yesterday.  If you are having trouble remembering your assignments, please take the initiative to develop a system that works for you.  You need to write down every assignment and its due date in a common place (such as a planner) as soon as a teacher mentions it, and you need to refer to that list often to make sure you are completing assignments on time.

You have until tomorrow to turn in the midterm test corrections, which were due today.  Students who earned less than a B on the midterm test need to give serious thought to doing these.  There is no excuse for not trying to get the best mark you can in this class.

No new assignments except the extra credit assignment on Greek and Roman mythology were given out today.

Do Now, 10-13:

-Gladiators and the Colosseum
-Cupid

-Representative government
