All bell ringers in this class from now until your end-ofcourse exam will be on papers titled Standards for Civics.
They will be collected on the day of the exam for a major
grade.
What if you can’t remember?
Check your notes or ask someone nearby.
Every day, I will put a Florida Next Generation Sunshine
State Standards benchmark code on the board along with
what that benchmark code means.
You will have to think back to when we covered that
benchmark in class and write down some things we
learned in class about the concept.
Write the benchmark code and then use the underlined
hints to write one definition or example from this concept.
Write as many as you can, but one is the bare minimum.
