EMP log 5, EMP Poster work and EM test date
EVEN day classes; logs will be due with the poster on Wednesday 2/2/2011

Log entry #5
-What quadrants still need work?
-How will your group address computer generated tables/charts/graphs/titles?
-How will your group complete the WCP? one/group = A -OR- one/person = B
-If your group is behind at meeting daily work goals (you will only have ~30 minutes next class); when and where will your group meet to complete the poster.
-What did each member of your group do towards completion of the poster today?
If your group was not meeting daily production goals you will need to meet outside of class to complete the poster. This is a cooperative group project so you should make every effort to meet as a group to work on the poster outside of class. My after school office hours on Tueday 2/1/2011 would be an ideal meeting place for groups.
The Earth Moon System test will be early during the second week of February. Students do not need to have notebooks approved for this test; I will explain more as the test date approaches.

EMP Work Cited Page revisits
The electronic WCPs will be returned to students later this week. Many students turned in WCPs that earned revisits for one or more of the following reasons:
1) Student turned in a template, not the WCP format as discussed and requried in class.
2) Student did not cite the textbook as required.
3) WCP had numerous instances of no hanging indent and/or WCP not alphabetized
Revisited WCPs should be sent electonically as rich text format file to empresearch.2010@gmail.com or printed out and turned to the inbox in class

Semester 1 grade sheets
First semester grades are complete and entered to the school, which should send grade reports home over the next two weeks. I have given students a paper copy summarizing all of the assignments from first semester and student's grade on the assignment.
Students should share the grade sheet with a parent/guardian and have the grade sheet signed and returned by 1/21/2011.
