IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT APPLIES TO ALL REVIEW ACTIVITIES
All review activities are applied to the 4th Nine Weeks, and these review activities are the ONLY homework
grades you will have. Every assignment counts, so keep up with due dates and do your best work.
Cite sources for information/photos used from the internet. Remember that using any large section of text
from the internet is plagiarism (even if you cite the source!) – so you need to read and paraphrase when
researching online.
Some of the in-class activities may be done as a group, but all work done outside of class is INDIVIDUAL
WORK. You may choose to work together with friends on the research, but each person is responsible for
creating his/her own final product – so I should receive no assignments that are substantially similar. (No
timelines that use all of the same dates)
Copying information – from the internet or from another student – or providing information for another
student to copy will result in a zero for that activity without opportunity to re-do.
