EMP Research Hard deadline

When we return from break your research packet and works cited page will be due as a hard deadline (no late work will be accepted).

IMPORTANT!   Before you return to school from winter break send your emp research and internet research template to your own email account.  This will allow you to continue research or to electronically submit your work for the hard deadline.  Alternately if you have a flash drive you may save your work to the flash drive and bring the flash drive with your e- work to school in place of emailing the work.

Odd day classes: you will have ~80 minutes of time in the computer lab on 1/3/11 and your research/wcp hard deadline is 1/5/11.  You will most likely need to spend from 1-2 hours doing research over break.

Even classes: your hard deadline for research/wcp is on 1/4/11; you should finish your research over winter break.

EMP textbook research

Use your textbook to find some infromation relevant to your EMP quadrant research and use the OHS golden page to correctly cite the textbook.  Do the research notes and citation in your science notebook.

Amnesty Day 12/9/2010

I am offering all students amnesty on ONE SCIENCE assignment from first semester.  I recommend identifying a single project/test assignment (sinker lab and NoS/metrics tests are best if either is not passing) for the biggest affect on your grade.  Test revisits earn .7 points for each point revised and the sinker lab can be completed for all 100 points as graded by the rubric.

Amnesty requirements:
1.  The assignment must be complete
2.  The answers must be correct
3.  Amnesty assignments should require nothing from the teacher, Amnesty only works if you saved the original work and hondouts
4.  Labs & projects graded by a rubric must include the original rubric or copy of the rubric when turned in.  Test revisits for amnesty require you turn in the original test with the amnesty revisions.
5.   In the top margin clearly make an @ symbol to identify you follow directions and want to earn amnesty.

Any amnesty assignment is due by 12:40 PM on December 9th.
