FLIPPER CULTURAL
Throughout the year, as we address a “Nota Cultural” topic in the text, you are expected to summarize it accurately and thoroughly in your own words on an index card and install it in your flipper cultural folder. (I will show you how to do this and provide you with an example of what I expect.) This is an AUTOMATIC HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT due the day after we come across a “Nota Cultural” topic in the book. It will comprise a significant portion of your NOTEBOOK CHECK GRADE that is factored into your average each quarter. At the end of the year, you will have compiled a cultural portfolio spanning all of the “Nota Cultural” topics.
