Practice Exam #1 Closed at 4 pm Today

Any test submitted after the cut-off time of 4 pm goes "invisible" for me.  If you did the exam but get a 0 in Thinkwave, you failed to complete it in the 9 days allotted, before the time it closed down today (4 pm, per the post for Practice Exam #1.)

Scores are on a sliding scale based on the same post, look at the number you got correct.  That's what is being used for your grade.

If that score is under 40, 
you will fail the Regents Exam.
START STUDYING!
START ATTENDING EVERY REVIEW OFFERED!!
You have 5 only classes remaining!

Remember, this was an actual exam. 
It was the Part I from August 2017.

Perfect Attendance & Review

If you have signed up for Friday's review but have been invited to the Perfect Attendance Luncheon, please let me know by Friday so I can mark you as coming late (so I know you didn't bail.)  It is perfectly fine for you to come to review late in order to celebrate this achievement. 

Final Exam: 50% of grade is...

You MUST have your review book with your for your final exam period. 

50% of your grade for the day is being prepared which includes all of the following:
Index Cards, Dividers, Highlighter, Pens, Paper/Binder, Review Book.

You cannot take the final if you do not have your review book.  I repeat, in different words...
YOU WILL GET A ZERO ON THE FINAL EXAM IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR REVIEW BOOK.

Please be sure you know when your final exam period meets (date & time), it will be held in our classroom.

Your averages...

Can your current average handle a zero?

If not, make sure you do the online exams!

Ch 28 Video Packets

It was brought to my attention that the Ch 28 packets may be part of the Ch 27 packets.  I have not graded 27, but only a few people turned in what I thought was 28 & Thinkwave was updated accordingly.  I will look into the matter based on the videos posted for each n their post & change grades as necessary as I grade the Ch 27 Packets.

Those who attended review today...

Those of you there until the end today...remember what I said about regaining the points from today...

ALL HWQs: 5/29 (Ch 29, all sections, Ch 29, all sections, Ch 30, sections 1-4)

All Ch 28, 29, & most of Ch 30 HWQs will be done at the start of class on Tuesday, 5/29.  Please be sure you read the final extra credit post before deciding you don't have to do the work.  Remember, just because you have the notes doesn't mean you can write "whatever" as you answer...you must answer the question fully & correctly.


Still Failing the Course? Read Me.

One FINAL chance for a decent grade for the 4th MP and, just maybe, a passing grade for the course.  This applies only for work due Saturday, 5/26 through & including Friday, 6/1.  It is for  classes that meet from 5/29-6/1.

What you must do to qualify:
1. Be on time daily
2. No illegal absences
3. Prepared with all required supplies (index cards, dividers, highlighter, pen)
4. No failing HWQ, Video packet, quiz, or exam grades for that time period
(blank questions on video packets lad to failing grades, just an fyi)
5. Must study & complete at least 3 different Regents Review sets on Quizlet between 5/25 & 6/1
(Remember, Quizlet tells me how active you were, how quickly you finished a set, the mode you chose to use, etc.  Anything shady will be disqualified, so study in any mode you choose but do it the right way!)

What you get if you do all of the above:
QUADRUPLE REVIEW POINTS on your 4th MP average for MY REVIEW ONLY on 6/1, from 2-5:30 pm (must stay for the entire review.)
(If you are not allowed to attend my review due to past behavioral or cutting/chronic late issues, I will consider allowing this perk for dept review.)  
This means that, if you follow 1-5 above for 5/26-6/1 & attend the 6/1 review, you will earn 14  points on your average just for that one review date.  

But wait, there's more...
IF you stay eligible for the quadruple points for 6/1 AND you attend that review...I will allow you to earn them again on 6/8 IF you meet the same conditions for the time period 6/2-6/8.  You must do 3 more/different Quizlet reviews.

AND...
If you do that, and remain eligible based on 1-5 above for work due 6/9-6/13 (which is AFTER the review date), I will extend the quadruple points for the 6/11 review, too.  You must do 3 more/different Quizlet reviews before 7 am on 6/13.  

Do the math - that's a total of 42 points IF you pull this off (& it isn't hard to do.)  Just about anyone should be able to pass the 4th MP is they do this.  PLUS one point per hour of dept review you attend, if you attend any during the week & provide my signed slip as proof

HOWEVER...
Once you lose your eligibility the 1st week, you are back to 1 point per hour at review.  There is no 2nd chance since this is your very last chance.  Most of you didn't bother to take advantage of the triple points hat ended today.  Foolish, if you look at your averages.  The only way to continue with the quadruple points is to remain eligible.  Keep in mind I only have enough review cards for 36 people, there are 90 of you, and people at the Friday review get 1st shot at next weeks sign up.

Just to be sure you have read this all the way through, post a comment below with your first & last name & class period.  If you do this by 7 pm on Saturday, 5/26, I will give you an additional 5 points (total) if you remain eligible for the 1st week.

"Last Chance" is Upon You

Before you decide you don't have to do your work for the week, consider the following:

1. Have you checked Thinkwave for your current average?
2. Have you done your work, passed your assessments, & attended review to be eligible for extra credit points?
3. Are you aware that there are only a couple of reviews left (total) to earn extra credit points and, just maybe, be able to pull put a passing 4th M grade that could save your year?
4. Have you met with Guidance to determine what it will mean to not graduate on time, since if you fail this course you will need to repeat it, and that means being a year behind in NYS Graduation Requirements.
5. Do you remember that next year you must take & pass the new Common Core Regents Exam if you fail the course OR Exam this year?

12 classes left as of this posting.  MAKE. THEM. COUNT.

12 Classes until your Regents: Review Sign Up Reminders

Sign up for my Friday Review starts Monday & ends Wednesday.  There will be a sign up sheet n your classroom.  If you sign up, it is expected that you have made the commitment to show up.  The review is from 2-5:30 pm (late bus passes provided.)  If you cannot stay for the entire review, don't sign up.  Remember, if you blew off last week's review after signing up you cannot attend this week.  Extra Credit eligibility starts again each Monday, so make yourself eligible all week & attend as many reviews as you can to take advantage of the ONE TIME TRIPLE POINT DEAL for this week.  It will NOT be repeated, and no exceptions will be made regarding eligibility.  Do all your work, all your online exams, pass your quizzes/exams, be in class, be prepared, act appropriately, and be in time.  If you are attending a Department Review, be sure to get a slip from me BEFORE your class for that teacher to sign so you get your points IF you remain eligible by the end of the week.

SPACE IS LIMITED.  I have room for 34, there are 90 of you...  You can sign up before school, before your class begins, or after our class ends.

Pizza is $1.25 per slice.  Please have exact change as I don't usually have single or quarters.  You can order as many slices as you like.  The pie is $10 with tip, which works out to $1.25 per slice, I pay the tax.  This is not a fundraiser, it is the exact cost of the slice.  I will place the order based on how many paid slices have been ordered about 30 min into review.  Money is collected at review not before.

BYO drinks or refillable water bottles.  These will not be provided.

You may bring other food with you if you don't care for pizza.  As they take too long & review time is short, no other menu  items will be ordered, sorry.  You cannot have food delivered by Uber or another take-out place, sorry.

Quizlet Regents Review Now Open

Quizlet Regents Review is now open.  These cards reflect questions & content from past Regents Exams,  They are not the same as the flash cards you will do in class.  It is simply another study tool for you to use.  They are arranged by theme, same as in class.

Exams closing

Check the postings or sue date s- you gave tests opening & closing multiple times per week!

Review Supplies Reminders & Info

You will start review flash cards in class this week.  Your supplies (originally due in class on 5/14) are required as of Monday, 5/21, in class.  Failure to be without your cards, dividers, highlighters, pens (no gel pens, standard blue or black ink) will cause you to be marked unprepared, which in turn affects you ability to earn extra credit points for reviews attended that week.

Flash cards WILL NOT be posted.  If you miss class, or are late to class & miss cards, there is no make-up for them.  These are IN-CLASS ONLY.  Not before school, not after school, no posted online...even if legally absent.  Don't be out, don't be late, or have a plan to get the review you missed.


If you study the cards EVERY NIGHT for at east 30 minutes (longer if you have failed any marking period), you *should* be OK on the Regents Exam.

Review Reminders: Sign Ups, Pizza Cost, BYO Drink

Sign up for my Friday Reviews start Monday & ends Wednesday of each week.  There will be a sign up sheet n your classroom.  If you sign up, it is expected that you have made the commitment to show up.  The review is from 2-5:30 pm (late bus passes provided.)  If you cannot stay for the entire review, don't sign up.

SPACE IS LIMITED.  I have room for 34, there are 90 of you...  You can sign up before school, before your class begins, or after our class ends.

Pizza is $1.25 per slice.  Please have exact change as I don't usually have single or quarters.  You can order as many slices as you like.  The pie is $10 with tip, which works out to $1.25 per slice.  This is not a fundraiser, it is the exact cost of the slice.  I will place the order based on how many paid slices have been ordered about 30 min into reivew.  Money is collected at review not before.

BYO drinks or refillable water bottles.  These will not be provided.

You may bring other food with you if you don't care for pizza.  As they take too long & review time is short, no other menu  items will be ordered, sorry.

Extra Credit System Starting Monday. You Should Read This.

After School Regents Review will be handled in this manner moving forward.  A few slight changes have been made for clarification purposes.  Please read carefully to see which of the categories you fall into - the week starts with work due on Monday & ends with work due on Friday.  Everyone is "reset" come the following Monday.  If you don't do what you are supposed to for next week, you can still qualify for something different the week after, depending on what YOU do. 

These policies are for my review & the "official" Department Reviews held multiple times each week after school.  Those dates, times, & locations were previously posted on the blog as well as in your classroom.  As a reminder, those students with discipline issues, behavioral issues, or significant cutting/late to class all year cannot attend my review but are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to attend as many of the Department reviews held each week as possible.

Extra credit points given per hour of review attended will be added directly to your 4th MP average, up to a grade of 100. If you exceed that grade based on your average & points,    I will consider an adjustment to your course grade...which might lead to a passing course grade if you can earn at least an 85 on the Regents Exam.  This is EXTRA, so I am not required to do it.  The policies below will be used as of work due Monday, 5/14. 

Option A:
All of your work was done, fully complete, according to the directions given, & was submitted on time.  You earned a passing grade on all quizzes & exams given that week (including HWQs.)  You were not late to class or illegally absent.

If this describes you (for any week moving forward), and you are signed up for review, you will earn double points on your 4th MP average.  That means for every hour of review you attend* you will earn 2 points on your 4th MP average.

Example: my review is 3.5 hours.  If you attend, are on time for review, & you qualify for Option A you will earn 7 points for that one review.  I have 5 reviews.  Do the math...look at Thinkwave...think about what you needed for the 4th MP to pass the course...

Option B:
All of your work was done, fully complete, according to the directions, you passed all your HWQs, but you failed one or more quiz or exam this week.  You were not late to class or illegally absent.

If this describes you (for any week moving forward), and you are signed up for review, you will earn single points on your 4th MP average.  That means for every hour of review you attend* you will earn 1 point on your 4th MP average.

Option C:
All of your work was not done or was incomplete.  You were late to class &/or illegally missed class.  You are not eligible for extra credit points this week.

This also applies to anyone who signed up for my last review but failed to show up, left a review before it ended, or cancelled after the deadline, causing another student to miss out on that spot.


*Verification slips are required as proof of attendance for Department Reviews (not necessary for mine.)  These must be filled out by the teacher holding the review at the end f the review session.  You must get it form me the day or the review (or Friday if a Saturday review) and turn in at the start of your class the next day.  Failure to do either of these will result in no extra points being granted/earned.
