BIOLOGY

1ST SEMESTER CELL BIOLOGY

2ND SEMESTER ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY

SIGN UP FOR REMIND 101 TEXT MESSAGES or E-MAILS ABOUT HOMEWORK, PROJECTS, AND EXPERIMENTAL WRITE-UPS, DUE DATES, AND REMINDERS

COULD VERY WELL BE THE MOST CHALLENGING YEAR 10TH GRADE.MANY CONCEPTS IN SCIENCE THIS YEAR ARE NEW TO YOUR STUDENT

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: STUDENTS NEED TO PRACTICE READING AND WRITING AT HOME= HOMEWORK

GRADES: I USE POWERSCHOOL

NEW POLICY: EVERY THIRD MISSING ASSIGNMENT = 2 DETENTIONS

THESE ARE ALL OF THE HOMEWORKS AND IN CLASS ACTIVITIES THAT WE DOTO PRACTICE FOR TESTS AND QUIZZES OVER EACH UNIT

THESE ARE ASSIGNMENTS WE GO OVER IN CLASS

COLLECTED EVERY 10 ASSIGNMENTS

SHOULD BE AN EASY HIGH GRADE, BUT WHEN STUDENTS DON’T FINISH ASSIGNMENTS, NOR DO HOMEWORK, THEY TEND TO GET BAD GRADES.

FOLDER GRADE

IN MY MIND, THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO NOT FINISH A LAB, ASSIGNMENT, ACTIVITY, OR ANYTHING WE DO IN THIS CLASS

I AM HERE TILL 4:30 OR 5 AT LEAST EVERY DAY

ACCOMMODATIONS CAN BE MADE TO COMPLETE ANYTHING

ARE YOUR STUDENTS LEAVING THIS SCHOOL NOT UNDERSTANDING IMPORTANT CONCEPTS AND NOT FINISHING ASSIGNMENTS?

ONLY 73% OF ALL OHIO SOPHOMORES PASS THE OGT THE FIRST TIME THEY TAKE IT !ONLY 83% OF NORTH STUDENTS PASSED IT

LAST YEAR! WHY? NOT PRACTICING WHAT THEY LEARN= HOMEWORK and TAKE HOME TESTS

PRACTICE VOCAB AND READING

Use national testing words like evaluate, apply, trace the steps, support, infer,

describe, formulate, predict, support, etc...
