Class Assignments

Tuesday 10 January 2012
Today you got back your notebooks, some papers and your tests .  The notebook grades were disappointing at best.  When I tell you to file something, please listen and file it where I tell you right then!  I am NOT going to hunt for papers that I tell you over and over to file in a certain place.  I am not going to check your pockets in the notebooks or look in some random place.  It is YOUR responsibility to file tha papers I tell you to file. Today you should have filed your test behind "miscellaneous."  I hope all of you did so.  As I said in class, I was disappointed that all of you didn't get the first page of the test and the top half of the second page completely right!  I told you it was on the test yet some of you failed to memorize that part of it. Those grades were not as good as I would've liked them.  You need to heed what I say in class.
We read Lesson 28 after taking the Pretest 10.  It was so exciting to me to see how many of you had already taken the pretest.  Great!  It shows me you are reading the blog!
Remember in your homework for tomorrow, copy the chart on pages 159-160.  The ones on 160 you will have to answer the 2 special notes yourself.  That is why you should read over the highlighted or underlined parts of Lesson 28 that we did together in class!  After you have completed the chart, file it behind "Asia."
