Reminder -- Constitution Test retakes -- Part I on Tues., and Part II on Wed.. We set up for the new semester...We discussed grades distribution relative to a standard, bell-shaped curve and observed what an excellent job the students did! A "Skills Tracking" page was distributed to the students to use throughout the semester to monitor their scores by skill, to see patterns/trends, and also to be clearly aware of which score is the most recent/active score.
We organized our many papers from first semester into 7 categories: final exam prep materials and then the 6 skill areas. (Paper labels and paper clips were provided.) This way, you can make good, easy use of the feedback on your previous work each time we approach the performance of a particular skill.
Reminder -- be sure to have and use your STI login to check your grades and scores in your classes about once a week, and remember to check my website (mrscluver.blogspot.com -- linked to MFHS web page) any time you are absent to have clear record of what we did during your absence.
We set up to take notes from "The Presidents" DVD -- see a reliable classmate for the info to copy. We will record basic, chronological notes of key ideas as we take a quick, concise overview of where we've been so far WHILE embedding into our notes curiosity questions as we view! (Think "How?" and "Why?" to engage in the material, and questions will, then, naturally arise.) Be sure to mark the questions with a big "?" or some other way to make them stand out visually.
