US History: Monday's Homework Reminder

Remember, your Document C: Sedition Act questions are due on Monday.  They must be n separate paper in the proper homework format or no credit will be given!  There are only 3 questions - do them right, and do a good job!

US History: Questions due Friday, 3/20

Remember, the Zinn questions 2-5 are due tomorrow (you did #1 in class yesterday.)  Yes, on the handout.  No, you don't need complete sentences.

As a reminder...

...your Classwork grade for "Participation" includes being in class (unless legally absent), being prepared with all items necessary for class, and your behavior/participation in class on any given day.


It is labeled as "Participation" because you need all of the items listed to effectively participate in your education each & every day.

All Students: ALSO DUE ON MONDAY 3/9/15

All students are required to submit a parent-signed copy of their current Engrade report on Monday, 3/9/15. 

You only need to print a “cover sheet” (all it needs is your name & current average), not all the grades for the marking period.

Parents & Guardians – please discuss with your student any areas that he/she is not performing to your expectations.  We have just 15 weeks of school – all students need to perform at their best now & for the remainder of the year!

This will count as a test grade so is an easy way to give a little boost to your current average.  It is due on Monday…but be warned, you will lose 20 points for every day it is late.  It is due at the beginning of your class period on Monday, just like any other homework.
