Today was...intensive. We reviewed the rubric for the Research Paper Final Draft on genetics that is due on Friday, and discussed how the Special Topic of your choice is actually optional, and will be used as bonus points on the research assignment: 6 extra points if done perfectly, and 3 extra points if present but imperfect, while it will earn no extra points if inadequate or majorly flawed. The rough draft is due tomorrow on Tuesday.
Also, we discussed the POINT of rough drafts, which is to get feedback so the work can be improved for the final copy. In the spirit of this, I will exempt scores on the rough draft if the final product shows substantial improvement for that section.
In social studies, the Middle Colonies CARs is due tomorrow. We also looked at the rubric for the summative Colonies assessment that we will write in class on Friday. Remember, you can bring in any handouts or other materials to cite or use as resources in your essay. The only requirement is that you write it in class.
