Two Days Before Our Summative Test on Chapter 2..

Home Nugget #32
Assigned on Tuesday October 27, 2009
Due on Thursday October 29, 2009


Guide-to Chapter 2. Directions were provided on Thursday of last week so students have had an enormous amount of time and opportunity to work on this long-term assignment.

The rubric for grading the lesson is on the direction sheet itself. Furthermore, the guide-to is counted as a 50 point quiz grade. Completing the guide in genuine way leads to two positive outcomes:
1. The student earns a high score on an assessment
2. The student is preparing themselves for the summative test on chapter 2
