Driving the Roads
Complete the assignments below. Yellow is Must-Do, green is Should-DO, and cyan is Strive-to-Do.
At the end of each unit will be a review activity, followed by the test. Everyone will participate in the review activity and test at the same time. Occasionally, we will need to have a whole class lab to conserve space, time, or supplies.
All activities should be completed cooperatively with 1 partner, unless otherwise noted.
Before asking Mr. Skapetis a question, you must ask other classmates your question. If they do not sufficiently answer your question, then you may ask. It's not that he doesn't want to help you, but this policy frees him to reteach and grade the steady flow of work.
If there seems to be a glitch in my system or thinking, please let me know so this can be a smooth process going forward.
*Hint* If it's underlined, it's a link.
