Groups - New Homework Policy
Students have been given specialized instructions for their unit guides. Some students will continue with the practice of turning the unit guides in on the test day. Another set of students are exempt from turning in the unit guides. The third group must now turn in the key terms on a daily basis, then turn in the theme questions on the test day.
All students are expected to complete these assignments in a timely manner, regardless of the requirement to turn them in or not. The differentiated expectations are simply intended to provide greater accountability to certain students, as well as continue to provide a non-test graded assignment on their quarter grades.
If you have any questions about the specific expectations, please email me.
