Review of Expectations

• Be on time to class, tardies are now reset but will result in lunch detentions, after-school detentions, and possibly referrals

• First things to do when you get to class

  • Get out what you need for class (listed in the corner of the board)

  • Complete the "Do First" tasks

  • Review the announcements, homework, and date of the next Summative for new information.

• Start of instruction

  • Once attendance has been taken and Ms. Bair starts class, the expectation is that ALL conversations are over. It is extremely rude to talk when Ms. Bair is going over instructions or teaching.

Review of Expectations

• Instruction

  • You are expected to be focused on completing the notes or assignment we are working on.

  • You are expected NOT be working on assignments for other classes.

  • Classwize will not be updated so that you can work on other assignments.

  • You are expected to participate (Wayground, notes, project task). If you are seen regularly not participating, you will lose the ability to work on anything outside of class.

Review of Expectations

• End of Class

  • Please check to make sure you have not left any items before you leave, and check that you are leaving your space clean for the next class.

• Late/ Missing Work

  • Assignments are due the day they are opened, since you are given class time to complete them.

  • Assignments will remain open a week after the test to accommodate any absences. After that week, the assignments will lock and will not be available to be completed. It is your responsibility to keep track of when the modules close and complete all assignments before then.

Feedback on Essays

• DBQ

  • Follow the formula; this is not creative writing. This formula is set up so that you get all the points. You learn to follow it now, it will become a habit later.

  • For each doc, you need to describe the document.

  • You also need to explain the doc. This is more than "this shows that they were tolerant." You need to explain why it shows that they were tolerant.

  • Do not forget HIPP (this can earn you 2 points)

  • You also need to explain why the HIPP you identified is significant or relevant.

  • Outside evidence is more than a phrase. You need to explain and relate it to your argument.

Feedback on Essays

• DBQ

  • Context needs to be more than 1 sentence.

  • Include how each context example you mention relates to the prompt. This will make your context much stronger.

• LEQ

  • DO NOT SKIP CONTEXT

  • Same as above

  • You need to explain your evidence. You need to include how each example impacted the people of the Americas.

  • Your examples need to be SPECIFIC. New foods is not specific, but wheat is!
