Monday Nov 3rd. Day 49

Mapping Test is today

Today is also the first day of the final 6 weeks of Semester 1.

All grades need to be checked for accuracy and any mistakes need to be addressed today. After today, no work form the previous 6 weeks will be eligible to be turned in late.

Follow these steps today:

1. Take the Mapping Test (and do well)

2. Get your chromebook and check your grade on-line

3. If you have a zero for any assignment, make sure you didn't send it as a "share" on your Drive acct. I had multiple students send me shared files. Those assignments need to be in a pdf format attached to an email (labeled so I know who it's coming from, which period you are in, and what assignment it is)

4. Make sure your timeline is available on your chromebook - we will do a gallery walk activity tomorrow to determine the winner.

For tomorrow:

Print out and bring with you these 3 world maps- (Maps for Columbian Exchange Activity)
