Hope you enjoyed learning all about the Didjeridoo!
Today in class we reviewed the results of the Australia summative. Remember that if you scored lower than 80% on the test, you MUST complete the Reflection/Remediation and get a signature. If you are planning to retake the test, you MUST complete the Reflection/Remediation and get a signature AND you must have turned in a completed Australia Fact Book (study guide) on time.
The Australia Fact Book is a summative grade, so you MUST turn it in. Late submissions will mean losing points, but it is still better than a zero on a summative.
Retake opportunity is Tuesday, 1/28
No Homework – Have a great weekend!

Review of economics today, some of you need to look back at what we studied in Europe to be sure you remember things like trade barriers and factors of production. We also worked to complete the Australia Fact Book today. This is due Thursday, 1/23 before you take the test. It needs to be complete as it will be graded. Please check Friday’s blog post for answers up through government (except for the timeline and the front cover – timeline we did today in class).
