Assignment 5 of 6
Your IRP is due in roughly two weeks. Ideally, you will want to finish the book at least one week before your IRP poster is due. That means odd periods should finish by 10/27 and even periods should finish by 10/28. Determine how many pages you have left to finish and divide that by the number of days left.
Ex. Let’s say your a student in period 5. If your book is 225 pages long and you did your homework over the long weekend, you should have about 200 pages left to finish at most. If you divide 200 by 17 days, you get 11.76 … So, you should be reading at least 12 pages every night starting tonight if you want to finish on or before Thursday the 27th.
Those of you interested in attending Gertz’s first off-campus dance and/or Halloween parties that weekend should try to finish even earlier.

If you have any incomplete Achieve 3000 assignments, make sure you complete those and let me know when they are done either in person or via email. I will not change any Achieve 3000 grades until they are all complete, and you must complete them no later than Friday the 21st.
If you wish for the possibility of a grade change for your personal narrative grades, please resubmit a hardcopy of your revised essay stapled on top of your original essay on or before Friday the 21st.

If you wish to retake your word roots quiz, you must attend one tutoring session between now and November 1st in order for your retakes to count. Be sure to bring your flashcards, as you can use whatever aids you like on your retake.
If you failed the notebook check for either Unit 1 or Unit 2, you STILL have time to raise your grade to a 2.0. However, given the fact you did not have all your assignments complete when they were originally due, you must show completion of every assignment before your grade will change.
