BADGE BUSTERS CHALLENGE!!! Ok guys, here is the challenge....For everyone in your class to earn 5
Edmodo Badges before the end of this week!!!! You can do it!! Many of you already have 5 or more.
Everyone has earned the Edmodo startup badge. Some badges are easy to earn (many of you already
have the one for bringing your class supplies, completing your profile and adding a profile picture).
Some have earned badges by posting helpful answers for their classmates. Someone earned a badge
today because I noticed them helping clean up at the end of class. If you haven’t checked your profile
lately to see how many you have, do so and encourage your classmates to earn 5 by Friday!!
What's in it for you? If your class rises to the challenge, you will each receive one BioBuck to spend.
What can you purchase? I will have a list of "items" in class tomorrow!!
ULTIMATE CHALLENGE- if 1st period accumulates 150 badges and 2nd period accumulates 275 by the
start of class next Thursday…there’s another BioBuck for all!
AND…Booyah- if you are in the top three Badge earners in your class, you will receive an additional
BioBuck!!!
Whoo hoo, you lucky dogs!! And yes, I love you this much that I will probably go absolutely nuts
keeping this all straight!!

You may cash in your BioBuck for any of the following:
CALLBACK- Mrs. Case will forgive a used hall pass
THE FUMBLE- Mrs. Case “drops” your lowest daily assignment grade (must be less than 25 point grade)
The 789- Mrs. Case allows you to use your notes or textbook for 7 minutes and 8 seconds on your 9
weeks exam
MPFREE DAY- Mrs. Case allows you to listen to your Ipod or MP3 while working on an assignment (good
for 2 uses and not while she is instructing)
BOOST- Entire class agrees to use their BioBucks collectively to purchase…5 points added to 9 weeks
test (IF CLASS DISCUSSION GETS TOO NOISY ON THIS…IT’S OFF THE TABLE!)
ULTIMATE BEAST- Mrs. Case will assign an additional grade for you to complete that will be entered into
your Major Grades category. You will DM it to Mrs. Case on Edmodo by the Sunday after your 9 weeks
