Today's to-do list includes the following items:

  1. Warm-Up:
    1. 2024-04-16 Warm-Up Quiz: Critique Vocabulary
      1. Remember that you should review your answers after EACH attempt. The lowest scores on the last quiz were from students who rushed through all three.
      2. Warm-Ups are usually a 5 point Independent Work grade if a written response is expected, or a 5 point Assessment grade if the Warm-Up is a quiz. They are due at the start of class and not eligible for late submission or re-submission.
