For my English students- Remember to be reading The Grapes of Wrath. Your grades are updated. Your OVERALL grade will be your final grade. Some of you did really well on the final exam. remember that it was 15% of your grade, so it did have a fairly large inpact.
For my history students- When you look at your grade, you will need to look at two things. In the drop down box, there are two terms for each period. TERM 1 is everything in your grade leading up to the final exam. TERM 2 is the final exam and your passes. REMEMBER:IF YOU HAD ANY MISSING ASSIGNMENTS THEY WERE SUBTRACTED FROM YOUR PASSES. So, your passes may not have counted as extra credit. Your OVERALL grade on your TERM 2 report is your semester grade.
Here are the upcoming due dates for semester two. The homework is in the folder under Ch 16 and 17.
16.1- Due 1/28
16.4- Due 1/29
17.1- Due 1/31
17.4- Due 2/3
WWII presentations- 2/5
Ch. 16 and 17 quiz- 2/6

Final Exams
It is the end of first semester!!!
English- Please study the material indicated on your yellow study guide!! You will need to be able to identify rhetorical strategies. Not just the definitions! You will need to be able to identify them in use, as well.
History- Unless you currently have an 89.5% or higher, you will be taking the final exam. I have posted the unit exam grades for those people who were close to an A, only. All other unit exams will be graded during the week of final exams. You will not know your unit exam grade before you take the test.
Study tips: I have posted all of the past tests in the quiz folder under History Documents. Those should be very helpful to you. We take most of the Final Exam questions from the old tests. Also, study yout Telescoping the Times, your notes, worksheets, video guides, etc. Do not forget to study your PIE handout! There will be questions about PIE on the test.
I will most likely NOT be checking my school e-mail over the weekend. However, I will be at school at 7:30 on Tuesday morning if you need to talk to me before the exam.
Have a great three day weekend and happy studying!!

Date Reminders
Just a reminder that tomorrow (Tuesday 10/21) is the Ch. 5 test. It is multiple choice. It wil lbe on the material covered in the homework, in class lectures and the readings. The powerpoints for the lectures are online.
In addition to that, students must turn in their work for the chapter. Some of them have already been checked in class, but none have been recorded.
I have attached a picture of the table of contents for their study packet from the board. This is what they should be studying, as well.
The Chapter 6 homework will be given to them tomorrow and it is due on Thursday, 10/23. They will have time after the test to start it in class.
Almost all of the assignments have some time in class to be worked on. Please talk to your student about using their time wisely.

Grades and other stuff
The six week grades are now online. Please check them for any typos or mistakes. The unit exam has been graded and is included.
Homework: In attempt to align our curriculum with the Common Core Standards, we are in the process of rewriting our curriculum. Because of that , it is hard to give due dates as far in advance as I would like.
So far, Ch. 5 is due on Tuesday 10/15/13. Students were given the homework last week. If they cannot find it, it is in the History folder on the right.
In addition to the background Chapter work, there will be readings that we do, as well. Students may have a few questions to answer from the readings each night. These will not take very long.
For example, they will need to read a piece on life as a cowboy for homework and answer some questions, due on 10/17.
As we get more developed, I will let you know the due dates.
Ch. 6 will be due on Oct. 24. We will get that online as soon as we can.
