Chapter 5 Let us Entertain You

Complete the assignments below. Yellow is Must-Do, green is Should-DO, and cyan is Strive-to-Do. Once each lesson required is completed and you do not need to do anymore, complete the exit ticket. The exit tickets can be found in the designated area of the classroom.  The exit ticket MUST be completed in the independent work area of the class.  The purpose of the exit ticket is to demonstrate you truly understand the material. 

80% correct required on the exit ticket to move on to the next lesson. If less than 80% is scored, there is an opportunity to complete more work, review with a Master, or a brief reteach session with Mr. Skapetis.

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 3 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.
