PDFs

I have uploaded and made page link to some of the PDFs I created. However I reached my "upload limit" today and I can't add any more (I reckon). One PDF refused to upload and I am kinda in a dliemna to figure out what to do about it.

Remember, test on Canada on Thursday (remember the extra credit)....I was going to throw in some Vocab from Latin America, but I will leave that alone for now.

Library People:

Go to the website on the parent letter and REVIEW for how to use the library. I will call about the parking problem (if there is one). I will also NEED ALL PERMISSION forms tomorrow morning. No one can ride with me remember. We are just meeting there and working together. Try to bring enough money for copies, paper for notes and resources, have your questions and TOPIC READY before you go, and give your driver some money for gas.

Meet me at the end of 4th to let me know whom to expect and who to keep up with on the way over. Only those with signed permission forms may go!!!

Don't forget money too! Bring enough for copies and enough if you end up eating. Copy cards are $1.

Thanks

Aly

OOPSSSS!

Sorry Iris

I forgot to post here.

Internal Assessments:

Due Monday, August 24, 2009. I want the last draft (before I edit) of your IA. I know if I wanted the final copy most would get it done. I want the IA: Printed BEFORE you come to class (am low on ink); with a cover sheet; each criterion sectioned (as samples); bibliography

You should have equal amount of primary/secondary sources if possible or 40% primary. Only 4 or less internet sources (no Wikipedia); must be correct MLA or foot notes ( I think are best and easiest); spell checked, grammar checked; bring note cards if you used them; and be sure to list your word count.

Do your best job! This will save time for the corrections. These will be your Last rough draft.

Good news is I bought two more fans for the class so we won't be dying of heat (well maybe less). Michael I may have an appointment on Tuesday, I will check tomorrow to be sure. I can't remember my date I had with the surgeon and I did not put it on my calendar. We may meet at lunch and then on another day. I know next Weds would be an excellent day to go because we could leave early by 2:00 pm and have more hours for research. This Weds I have a faculty meeting.

I have uploaded new study guides to the website IB for now. Please tell AP class students too. I am out of room on their website in storage. Also go there to get more AP study guides. Study Study and  study more. This is your time to get as much as possible. 

Thanks for the kind messages sent to me. I hope to be back on Monday. I look like I have the mumps in my neck!! We now have to find another car to get....we can't decide if we will buy new or used. 

Study please! It worries me we lost this week. Study Study Study is not enough.....concentrate and take your notebooks home to study SPRITES. You also need to remember Dates, Presidents, Events, Court Cases, Major Events and Idealogies...LOTS of things. It is crunch time guys!
