LAST CHANCE ENDS AT 9 PM TONIGHT. Very. Last. Chance.

Lots of new Quizlet sets posted for
Global II & US History. 
 
Global I has a final exam review already posted.

If you didn't bother to sign up when you were told to do so, you can request to be added to your class by this Friday for your last chance at online review on this site. 

You must do the following:
  • Sign up for the FREE Quizlet using your REAL first & last name (as it appears on your paperwork at school.  No freaky screen names.) 
    • Quizlet will recommend your name with numbers at the end if your name is already being used by someone else...that's fine.
  • Once registered, you must request to join your class. 
    • US History is under "Mrs. Ramo's Period 7 Class." 
    • Global II is listed under "Mrs. Ramo's Periods 2 & 6 Classes." 
    • Global I is listed under "Mrs. Ramo's Periods 3 & 4 Classes."
  • If I recognize your first & last name (which means you registered as instructed), I will approve your request to be admitted into the class.
Here are a few things you should know:
  • I'm not doing a search for you.  That's your job - you search for your class, as instructed above.
  • I'm not approving anyone past 9 PM Friday night.  That's THIS Friday, 5/31.
  • Only those originally signed up are eligible for the extra credit that goes along with using the site
  • Using Quizlet is just as good as using your flash cards, especially if you play the speed games & test yourself.
You have 48 hours & 27 minutes before this last window of opportunity closes. 
 
I will not extend it. 
 
Don't bother asking. 
 
The answer is NO.
 
Go do your homework, then sign up.

May 31st Review CANCELLED

NOT ONE STUDENT signed up for Friday's US History review, so it is now cancelled.

ONLY ONE person signed up for Friday's Global II review so it, too, is cancelled.  (To the person who signed up - you have first crack at a special review date I am adding the week of your Regents.)

Homework is REGENTS PREP WORK.
 
If you don't prepare yourself for the Regents,
YOU WILL FAIL IT.
 
NOT DOING YOUR HOMEWORK shows me you are too lazy to bother preparing yourself for a state assessment,
and it is my professional opinion that as a result
YOU WILL FAIL THE REGENTS.

Sign up deadline was yesterday.
So far I still have next Friday's review...but I guess we'll see what next week brings.

Remember, if YOU don't care, then I can't care.
