Today's Quote:
Recap:
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a restive and rewarding Fall Break and we're into the homestretch before Winter Break. I graded all of the work I had turned in before Thanksgiving and I have to admit, I was disappointed. I have been moving at a snail's pace making sure we cover everything in depth, but I can't do that going forward. This is high school and you are expected to copy down your own assignments and stay caught up with them. Case in point; less than 20% of my students turned in their STEM SIMS lab on time. Less than an additional 10% took advantage of my Power Hours and an extra week to get them done. Less than 50% of you completed the argumentation essay I asked you to write even though I gave you an additional two weeks to complete the steps.
Students who correct ALL the mistakes on their returned papers will receive 10 points more. Make your corrections on a separate piece of paper and staple it to the actual paper, turn it in. Example: If you scored a 60 on an assignment and you correct ALL of the mistakes, I will add 10 points to make it a 70.
Entry Task/ Brain Bender:
Mel Colly stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 26th floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously, after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived?
