9/11 Exam Day

Dear Period 2 & 4,

Today I am off campus with a few students from the Interact Club to speak to the Goletta Rotary Club, (they are people that gave us all the books last year!). 

While I am gone, you will be taking your 9/11: Imperialism and Terrorism exam online. While you are taking the exam, you cannot have any other tabs open. The exam contains multiple choice, short answer essay and True false. The short answers require that you explain your answer in full, with complete sentences and correct spelling. Some of the multiple choice question have multiple answers. When you are finished, you will have a post exam survey to tell me about how this unit has been for you. 

When everyone is finished, you will watch Why We Fight as a class.
Remember, work hard from bell to bell. Even without me here, your learning is still important.

I know I don't have to tell you, but just in case you need to hear it... any behavior issues will not be tolerated. The substitute and TAs have the right to move you if they feel it necessary. If you are not doing the right thing, the sub or TAs will email me.

See you tomorrow!
Ms. Kelly
