Class and Assignment Schedule for 9/26 - 10/1

Overview: Checking notes on Friday I was disappointed to see that in one class there were 6 of you who's notes were not up to date, and in the other class 10 (half the class!!!). Yikes! That's a lot of zeros!!!

We'll finish the chapter either Tuesday or Wednesday and the TEST will be on Friday, since I will not be in class, but at a cross country meet with the team. Friday your "One-Pagers" will be due, as well as the "Significant Event" timeline.

The chapter assessment will be formatted as a multiple-choice, matching, short answer as well as being given a prompt in which you'll be asked to write a introductory paragraph (underling you thesis statement) and accompanying topic sentences for each body paragraph (by now, you are familiar with this exercise!).
