APGEO: Extra credit opportunities to improve quiz grades

AP Geo students,




Quick note: Don't forget to include basic definitions for at least 75% of the vocab list at the end of the reading packet in your reading notes.  Also, don't forget to study for the Mother of All Map Quizzes!

-On the Econ. Geo. Vocab Quiz: Because of the six-point curve, I've decided to place some small limits on the percent you can earn back through corrections - I don't think it's fair to let people go from 75% or 80% to 100%; this is the trade-off for having such a large curve.


APGEO Extra credit opportunities - to raise quiz/test/FRQ scores only:

-If you did not receive 100% on either of your FRQs: If you redo both and both are flawless (as they should be with open notes and the rubric right in front of you), you can get 6/6 (100%) for the first FRQ grade.  Before doing this, read about the model tested (Rostow or Weber) in at least one place (reading notes / test prep guide).  In your rewrite, try to follow the rubric's requirements as closely as possible.

-If you redo only one FRQ for corrections credit, you can earn up to half the points you missed.

-If you did receive 100% on either FRQ, you can redo the other FRQ for up to 3 extra credit quiz points.

-If you are interested in taking another practice FRQ (in addition to the many we will do in class), you can stop by after school Thursday or next week Tues/Weds/Thurs to take one for up to 3 extra credit quiz points.
 
See you tomorrow,
Mr. M
