QUIZ TODAY: October 25, Chapter 6 Vocabulary

Vocabulary Quiz on these on Wednesday, 10/25.  Your words will be due at that time.  You may write them out as a list on paper OR you may write each on a flash card (use a flashcard for the required homework heading.)   Required homework heading must be used.  Use your knowledge, notes, online textbook, handouts, or the Internet to find the definitions.

Homework Heading (required on all work submitted):

Your Name                                                   US History
Class Period                                                Assignment
(in this case, your assignment is Ch 6 Vocab)

If you are making flashcards they MUST be rubber-banded together BEFORE submitting AND BEFORE the bell rings (there are rubber bands behind my desk - ask me!), and you top card must be a heading card (see above.)  You will get extra credit for making flash cards.

I was told today...

Not sure if it works, but I have been told that if you "follow" the blog you will be notified when I post.  I assume you have to sign up for notifications to make that happen.  Just a thought.

DUE: Wednesday, 10/12

All Thinkwave sheets are due back signed tomorrow regardless of average.  If you were not in class today, you will need to print yours out form home, have your parent sign it, & return it tomorrow like everyone else.

Test grade of 100 or 0.  100 if on time, 0 if not.

Reminder!
