US History: Quiz Tuesday!
You will have a geography quiz at the end of our US Geography lesson. I anticipate this being Tuesday. The review for this quiz has been open in Quizlet since last Wednesday. If you are already signed up - start studying! If you are not - get signed up! Failure to sign up for Quizlet will not accepted as an excuse for not taking the quiz or poor performance o t. There are no make-ups for that.
If you are legally absent for the quiz, the make-up is Wednesday, 9/10, at 2:05 in my classroom. No make-ups are allowed during the school day. If you can't stay after, don't be absent! Missing the make-up time (or being late for it) will result in a zero on this assignment.
