Tuesday - fix tests due tomorrow

We watched a movie today that teaches about earthquakes. Students took notes writing down the names of the scientists and what their jobs were. We recorded four different earthquakes and their magnitudes. We discussed how an earthquake in California would affect people in Idaho. We will finish the last few minutes of the movie tomorrow.

The tests from last week were returned today. Students that want to fix their tests will be required to hand them in at the start of class tomorrow. All the sentences must be complete sentences, (even on the a-b-c-d questions) The reason for this is to teach the student the information they did not know. Correct spelling is also required. The test must be stapled to the new answer sheet or I cannot correct it fairly. Students will receive 1/2 points on each incorrect answer. Students will lose 1/2 point for each misspelled word. Remember, the answers need to be correct.
