MSECCH3QUE

So, you have some homework this weekend. Read Ch. 3 BEFORE Monday. We'll have a quiz on it on Thursday, followed by a Unit Exam (Chs. 1, 2, and 3) on Monday Oct 5. I have added a "next 5 days" calendar to the blog - look to the right. Skype should be working now. Send me a request to be added to my school account - lakerromo. Lastly - fix up your Moodle profile. Add your picture, change your name so it reads as you like to be called in class, and add a post to the latest forum. I have placed you into class-specific groups now - too difficult to manage as one large group. 

I uploaded the Constitution (columned, 10 pages), the outline dissection (4 pages), the Ch. 2 powerpoint, the Ch. 3 Handouts (vocab and reasoning), and the weekly Forum (at least one post by Sunday).  Portal Grades SHOULD be up to date.  Some people are MISSING things.  Get that cleared up with me tomorrow - NOT DURING CLASS (unless I invite queries).  I will also allow anyone to recite the Preamble in class (last 15 slots are 5 a day M, T, and W of next week before you lose points).   If you EVER miss a quiz or test, you have 1 week to make it up - before school, during lunch, or after school.  I am working on an online version (timed, of course), but it won't be available until Q2.  It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make arrangements - I do not track you down.  After 1 week, it becomes a MISSING ZERO, with no opportunity to make it up.

Lastly, Hooper will be visiting class next Tuesday to talk about the CloseUp trip to DC and the POlitical Forums held after school one Thursday every month - you have to attend 2 by January if you want an A, or 1 for a B.  If your schedule does not allow it, I will provide you with thrilling C-SPAN coverage of Washington Journal.  You will have to watch 4 hours and write a report.  My advice - figure out a way to attend at least 1, but you need 2 for the A.
