Tentative review schedule: May be edited or modified with a one day notice:
On vocabulary quiz days, you will provide Mr. G with one 3x5 flash card for each term with the term, definition, module #, page # and an example or application. This is an all or none assignment. You either earn an A or a zero so do a good job. This is not extra credit.
Extra credit: On practice prompt days you may submit a practice essay for the specified prompt, for 10 points of extra credit.
Practice essays will be typed, double spaced, times or Times or Times Roman 14 pt. font, 1” margins. The practice essay will have your name and the prompt at the top and will appear to cover the prompt. The appearance of plagiarism will result in no credit for ANY practice prompt….even ones you have already written. This is an all or none extra credit, you either earn all the points or none so do a good job. In an effort to continue to combat plagiarism you will NOT get these back. I will not let you leave to print them or print them for you.
