Hey, guys! After the craziness of last week AND the fact that I have to be out on Wednesday of this week, I needed to sit down and re-assess how the pacing for this unit would go. Please examine the chart below in order to see when assignments are due– there are changes to the dates for your upcoming Harkness discussions and current events, as well as an in-class writing assignment.
FIRST AND FOREMOST: YOUR TEST IS STILL GOING TO BE ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27th. It turns out I built in JUST enough flex days to make this work without pushing the test back, so we’re going to stick to our overall pacing plan and end the unit on the 27th, regardless.

This modified schedule will result in me seeing “B” day classes one extra time before the test (on October 26th), which means that we can do any necessary clean-up of material we might not have got to by that point due to my absences. Seems only fair that they get the extra day this time.
Now, on to quiz corrections! Below you will see the two forms for quiz correction schedules. Please choose the correction schedule for YOUR CLASS, and choose which days you would like to do your corrections. I really need you to stick to your class period this time, guys, because you took two different versions of this quiz and I need to make sure I have the correct versions ready for you when you come for corrections.
