The student is responsible for the following
[1] Doing the class work.
[2] Doing the home work.
[3]The students writes out the vocabulary words on
notebook paper and brings back the homework to
school to turn in or to paste in the science journal per
teacher directions.
[4] The student keeps his/her the vocabulary handouts
to learn/study at home.
[5] The student keeps all handouts to use at home: such
as how to do graphs, how to do lab paragraphs
[6] Does one frayer model for each list VOCABULARY
